[mesa-users] Keplerian angular momentum for accreted material

  Hi Rob,

  Nice suggestion! This was the solution. In the end, I implemented both
relaxations with an increased number of steps, saved the subsequent model,
and activated my angular momentum prescription via x_logical_ctrl() after
this was done (because problems arose when I introduced my
accreted_material_j along with relax_...).

  Although it finally worked, I am compelled to introduce a crazy
uniform_am_nu_non_rot = 1d10 (extreme solid body rotation) to circumvent
the message "failed in angular momentum mixing" and thereby move on, but
still, the WD soon reaches the break-up spin frequency. I suppose this
inherently stems from the physics itself, even though I'd be happy to hear
about people's suggestions/experience with other_am_mixing.

  Thanks!
