e.g., we should do normalize species fluxes on the MHD fluxes

refinement issues in reacting_bubble

2

Running `reacting_bubble` using `inputs_2d`, after 300 steps there is a clear temperature feature at the refinement boundaries:

create ability to initialize 3d simulation from 2d axisymmetric

4

It would be great to have the ability to take a 2d axisymmetric simulation and use it to initialize a 3d calculation by rotating it about the vertical axis. This...

better treatment for inflow BCs

1

For inflow BCs, we should adopt the strategy from Maestro and others where the ghost cell value represents the interface value, and not the cell-center. And then we should use...

zingale

At it's peak, we had 3 options for including temperature in the reconstruction of interface states: * `ppm_temp_fix = 1` would reconstuct T and then use the EOS to get...

git pull should update submodules automatically

2

After #760 and #762, we now have Microphysics and AMReX as submodules. We have chosen to commit them as static commits, so we pick a specific commit/tag and they are...

Merge construct_hydro_source for MOL and CTU

2

We should be able to merge the hydro source constructor for both MOL and CTU. If we pass dt = 0 to the CTU hydro source constructor, the code should...

eliminate the ghost cell from State_Type when running with radiation

2

The hyperbolic system does not need the ghost cell in the State_Type data, even with radiation. The only reason it seems to be there is for constructs like this in...

zingale

Consider the algorithm for allow_small_energy == 0, which is the stricter version we should ideally enforce. First, it computes small_e = EOS(rho, small_temp). Then it checks if eint < small_e....

Modularize the build system

3

One of the main difficulties in writing unit tests (e.g. issue #404) is that we have one monolithic build target in Make.Castro. If we modularized this so that individual components...
