PLUTO 3.1.1 is out and is available for download at the PLUTO website
Version 3.1.1 contains some new improvements and a number
of minor bug fixes.
Here's a list of the most important changes:
- time step computation has been revised carefully (in a
genuine multi-D way) for UNSPLIT Runge-Kutta schemes and
when including parabolic terms (both explicit and Super
Time Stepping).
The resulting formulation yields time steps that are
larger than before for a given CFL number.
See the UserGuide for a more technical explanation.
This should also fix some unstable behavior seen with
STS at large CFL numbers.
- dissipative processes can now be incorporated, at the
explicit level, with Chombo-AMR;
- FARGO scheme has been extended to spherical geometry
- introduced the -no-write runtime switch for Chombo;
- Bug fix: Viscosity/Thermal Conduction (HD module)
- Bug fix: multiple calling of diffusion terms with
STS should now work properly.
