Problem Type Parameters¶
- ProblemType (external)
- This integer specifies the type of problem to be run. Its value causes the correct problem initializer to be called to set up the grid, and also may trigger certain boundary conditions or other problem-dependent routines to be called. The possible values are listed below. Default: none.
For other problem-specific parameters follow the links below. The problems marked with “hydro_rk” originate from the MUSCL solver package in the enzo installation directory src/enzo/hydro_rk. For the 4xx radiation hydrodynamics problem types, see the user guides in the installation directory doc/implicit_fld and doc/split_fld.

In a standard Enzo simulation with equal numbers of particles and cells, the mass of a particle is set to CosmologySimulationOmegaCDMNow/CosmologySimulationOmegaMatterNow, or somewhere around 0.85 in a WMAP-type cosmology. When a different number of particles and cells are used (128 particles along an edge and 256 cells along an edge, for example) Enzo attempts to calculate the appropriate particle mass. This breaks down when ParallelRootGridIO and/or ParallelParticleIO are turned on, however, so the user must set this by hand. If you have the ratio described above (2 cells per particle along each edge of a 3D simulation) the appropriate value would be 8.0 (in other words, this should be set to (number of cells along an edge) / (number of particles along an edge) cubed. Default: 1.0.

- NGammaDot (external)
- Strength of ionization source, in number of photons per second. Default: 0
Radiation-Hydrodynamics Tests 14/15 - Cosmological HI ionization (414/415)¶
HI ionization in a uniform density field. This test problem was used for problems 4.6 and 4.8 in (Reynolds et al., “Self-consistent solution of cosmological radiation-hydrodynamics and chemical ionization,” JCP, 2009). Test 4.6 utilized a single ionization source (test 415), whereas 4.8 replicated the test to the center of every processor for performing weak-scaling tests (test 414).
- RadHydroVelocity (external)
- Initial velocity of ambient gas in the x,y,z directions. Default: 0 (all). Example RadHydroVelocity = 0.1 0.1 0.1
- RadHydroChemistry (external)
- Number of chemical species. 1 implies hydrogen only, 3 implies hydrogen and helium. Default: 1.
- RadHydroModel (external)
- Type of radiation/matter coupling: 1 implies a standard chemistry-dependent model, 4 implies an isothermal chemistry-dependent model. Default: 1
- RadHydroTemperature (external)
- Ambient temperature in K. Default: 10000
- RadHydroRadiationEnergy (external)
