Directory: ${PENCIL_HOME}/samples/spherical-convection SVN Id: $Id$ Maintainer: Petri Käpylä Jörn Warnecke Added: 07-Jan-2011 Status: introduced in January 2011 Recommended resolution: 128x256x128 (nu=eta=5e-5) Comments: Convection in a spherical wedge spanning 150 degrees in latitude and 90 degrees in longitude. Stratification is piecewise polytropic with a cooling layer on top, similarly as in the conv-slab sample. The stratification is read in from an ASCII file which is produced by the supplied IDL-script. References: Käpylä, P. J., Korpi, M.
