PPM Debugging I think I found the issue in PPM that I was having last week. One of the variables in the characteristic projection was defaulting to zero instead of 1. This also looks like it might...
MHD Piecewise Parabolic Reconstruction (PPMC) I set this aside for most of the week but got back to it Friday. I replaced the current PPMC algorithm with the one that Athena++ uses and it seems to...
MHD Piecewise Parabolic Reconstruction (PPMC) I’m still stuck on the oscillation in the Brio & Wu shock tube. It seems like it might be an issue with the method/limiters not working for MHD ra...
MHD Piecewise Parabolic Reconstruction (PPMC) This week I refactored PPMC and added MHD support to it. It was mostly using functions I wrote for PLMC with a couple small additions. Despite this si...
MHD Piecewise Linear Reconstruction PLMC is done and in PR #288. I ran into some issues with the verification of the blast wave and Orszag-Tang vortex but both turned out to be initial condition i...
MHD Piecewise Linear Reconstruction PLMC is pretty much done. I spent the week debugging it and making some other tweaks. There’s some cleaning up to do and final verification but that should be d...
MHD Piecewise Linear Reconstruction This week I started on the MHD piecewise linear reconstruction in the characteristic variables (PLMC). The steps I’ve completed are as follows: Do some rese...
MHD Advecting Field Loop This is done and in PR #273. Last week I discovered that the issues I was having with it were just due to some errors in how I was computing the mean magnetic pressure du...
Angled Linear Waves After a lot more work this week I discovered that my implementation of linear waves from the vector potential did not in fact pass with grid aligned or angled waves. Since this...
