SPHC Astrophysics Applications
  Movie of a pulsating star envelope with an RT unstable layer.      Version: 12.02
Link to Document

  Stellingwerf     February 2013
 This is a 2D model of a spherical RR Lyrae envelope that is free to pulsate, and contains a density inversion that is RT unstable, similar to the convection layer found in realistic models. Note mixing strengthens with each outgoing shock, suggesting Richtmyer/Meshkov instability. (NOTE: 30 Mb file, NOT a streaming video!)

At the end of the movie, the KE versus time plot is shown. Note that the mixing event quenches the pulsation, but the pulsation persists to the end of the run at small amplitude.

  Stellingwerf     May 2014
 This is the pulsation model shown in the 3D movies. Has embedded unstable mixing layer at the convection zone, and develops an extended atmosphere / corona / wind.

Runs with the open source version of SPHC.

Must have the units.inp file in the same directory.
 
  Movies of 3D RR Lyrae Pulsation Model - See Abstract for file links      Version: 12.04
     
  Stellingwerf     December 2013
 Download a movie of the cross section and velocity of a 3D RR Lyrae model with unstable mixing layer and extended atmosphere/wind here (12 Mb).

Download the "sky view" movie of this model here (12 Mb).

Color in the sky view film indicates temperature, with red = 5,000 K, blue = 10,000 K.

 1) Oscillations in a steel plate following an impact at the center of the plate. Color = velocity.
(Powerpoint movie, click to see movie in full screen display)
(NASA project)

2) Rayleigh-Taylor Instability and subsequent mixing in a 16 m block of water. The red layers have a density of 2, the blue layers are density 1. Normal gravity is on. There is a square indentation of the interface at time zero. Note the surface waves generated by the turbulence.

  Stellingwerf     February 2014
 Units.inp = definition of a variety of units in terms of the basic cgs system. Allows any units to be used in an SPHC setup file. Use "read_file units.inp" to include in the run.

units_SI.inp = reads in the above file, and sets all output to SI units

units_Br.inp = same, but for British (engineering) units

NBR.s  
 
  Stellingwerf     September 2012
 These are examples of SPHC data post processor scripts. They require stran.exe to execute (see Services->S_Tran)
1. SPHC_Filter.s - read a dump and filter the results - example here is to compute the total mass of "solid" material in region 1
2. NBR.s - read a dump and find "clumps" of connected particles. Write a summary of the number and size of all clumps found.
