Gent Added: 21-Jun-2016 Status: has been working in this form since 21-Jun-2016 Recommended resolution: at least 1x1x1000 Comments: Use this 1D model to calculate the density and temperatue profile for the initial condition in the 3D supernova driven turbulence models of the ISM, that has identical vertical grid and hydrodynamic run parameters. An example is given in sample ../HD3D Magnetic field and cosmic rays can be added to the 3D model Convergence typically requires about 1 Gyr depending on the parameters and vertical extent, but in 1D this can be computed in under an hour. The vertical oscillations in the 3D simulations of Gent et al 2012 due to the initial vertical pressure imbalance persisted for about 400 Myr, and this evidentally persists longer with greater vertical extent, so the preparation appears justified. The averaged SN heating substitutes for the SN driven turbulence and will be smoothly superceded by the SN explosions in the 3D model. To obtain the 1D data file run > python ism_save.dat from the command line then copy the init_ism.dat file into the new 3D run directory References: 1.
