[mesa-users] Viscous heating as a profile output

[Matthew Clayton]

Hi there,

I'm looking for a way to get the local value of the viscous heating due to radial motions out of MESA (I.e. The e_visc,k defined in equation 38 of MESA paper III). I can't seem to find anything appropriate in profile_columns.list. Does anyone know if I'm missing something there?

Otherwise, if I have to calculate it myself according to equation 38, I'm interested in the implementation MESA uses but I haven't had any luck tracking down the calculation in the source. Can anyone prod me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Matthew
