7.1.23 Additional information and obsolete parameters

7.1.23.1 real abux

This optional information parameter can be specified with
real abux f=E15.8 b=4 n='hydrogen abundance (number fraction)' u=1 &
              c0='standard solar mixture'
 0.90851003E+00
It has no practical consequences because the actually used chemical composition is determined by the files for equation of state and opacity.

7.1.23.2 real abuy

This optional information parameter can be specified with
real abuy f=E15.8 b=4 n='helium abundance (number fraction)'   u=1 &
          c0='standard solar mixture'
 0.90850003E-01
It has no practical consequences because the actually used chemical composition is determined by the files for equation of state and opacity.

7.1.23.3 real qmol

This optional information parameter can be specified with
real qmol f=E15.8 b=4 n='mean molecular weight'                u=u &
          c0='standard solar mixture'
 0.13018000E+01
It has no practical consequences because the actually used chemical composition is determined by the files for equation of state and opacity.

7.1.23.4 real gamma

This optional information parameter can be specified with
real gamma f=E15.8 b=4 n='Adiabatic coefficient'               u=1 &
          c0='0.0/1.6666666666666/1.4'
 0.0
It has no practical consequences because the actually used chemical composition is determined by the files for equation of state and opacity.

%real c_visneu2 f=E15.8 b=4 &

7.1.23.5 real c_radkappasmooth

In the LHDrad module the opacity along each ray can be smoothed. The amount of smoothing can be set e.g. with
real c_radkappasmooth f=E15.8 b=4 n='Opacity smoothing parameter' u=1 &
    c0='0.0: no smoothing, 0.25: light smoothing, 0.666: strong smoothing'
0.0
The smoothing can perhaps reduce the noise in the intensity images somewhat but has no general beneficial effect and should usually not be used.

7.1.23.6 real c_radtsmooth

In the LHDrad module the 3D temperature array can be smoothed. The amount of smoothing can be set e.g. with
real c_radtsmooth f=E15.8 b=4 n='Temperature smoothing parameter' u=1 &
    c0='0.0: no smoothing, 0.5: reasonable smoothing, 1.0: max. smoothing'
0.0
The smoothing can sometimes reduce the noise in the intensity images but causes/amplifies some anomalies of the radiative Greens function: Some cool cell just above the sharp sub-photospheric temperature drop are not heated but cool further down. Negative temperature spikes may result. This smoothing should not be used anymore.

7.1.23.7 character radpressure

In the LHDrad module there exists a simple prescription for the radiative pressure (reasonable in the optically thin) which can be activated with
character radpressure f=A80 b=80 n='Radiation pressure mode' &
  c0='on/off'
on
Allowed values are The scheme is pretty slow and wrong in the optically thick. Do not use! However, the SHORTrad version is much more advance and can be used, even if it might require some more testing.

7.1.23.8 real c_radtintminfac

In the LHDrad module: The fraction the interpolated temperature (at a point on the ray) may exceed the minimum temperature at its four neighbors on the HD grid can be set e.g. with
real c_radtintminfac f=E15.8 b=4 &
  n='Temperature interpolation parameter' u=1 &
  c0='<1.0: only bilinear, 1.1: reasonable weighting between min. und bil.'
0.0
The introduction of this parameter was an attempt to reduce the negative (cooling) effect of a single hot cell on its cool neighbors. It should be switched off e.g. by setting it to 0.0.

7.1.23.9 integer dtimestep_out_fine

This parameter can be specified but there is no corresponding output file in CO5BOLD yet.
integer dtimestep_out_fine f=I4 b=4 n='Output time step number'       u=1 &
  c0='dtimestep_out_fine<0 => no output'
-1

7.1.23.10 character outfile_fine

The name of the file for the output of additional information at regular (small) intervals can be specified with e.g.
character outfile_fine f=A80 b=80 n='Output file name'
rhd.fine
Leaving it empty means that no file of this type is written. Specifying it means the same (up to now).

7.1.23.11 character outform_fine

The format (see Sect.6.2.3.1) of the files with frequent output can be chosen e.g. with
character outform_fine f=A80 b=80 n='Output file format' &
  c0='formatted/unformatted'
unformatted
Allowed values are This parameter can be specified but there is no corresponding output file in CO5BOLD yet.

7.1.23.12 character outconv_fine

The conversion type (see Sect.6.2.3.1) of the files with frequent output can be specified e.g. with
character outconv_fine f=A80 b=80 n='Output file conversion' &
  c0='ieee_4/ieee_8/crayxmp_8/native'
ieee_4
The allowed values depend on the machine. Leaving this field empty means that the default is chosen that is build into the local UIO module. If the type ieee_4 is supported (which is always the case, so far) it should be chosen. This parameter can be specified but there is no corresponding output file in CO5BOLD yet.
