HdivB/B rapidly increasing in colliding flows
Whilst running simulations including the creation of a shock compressed layer, the value of HdivB/B rockets well above one even after setting hdivbbmax_max=512 as recommended by the code. Changing overcleanfac to account for this essentially makes the code extremely slow. Is there another way to go about this issue?
not really, at some point you have to pay the cost to get div B lower... the only other thing here is that we use a cleaning speed of sqrt(cs2 + va2) so if you're highly super-Alfvenic then a higher cleaning speed (overcleanfac) could help without killing the timestep too much...
we recently pushed a fix that may fix the problem here, see #537
