[mesa-users] Information about mixing regions

[Gonçalo Andrade]

Hello



In the history_columns.list file there is a section about mixing regions with the following comments:


   ! mixing regions

      !  mx1 refers to the largest (by mass) convective region.
      !  mx2 is the 2nd largest.

      !  conv_mx1_top and conv_mx1_bot are the region where mixing_type == convective_mixing.
      !  mx1_top and mx1_bot are the extent of all kinds of mixing, convective and other.



I would like to know where can I find information about the definition of these variables.


The last line is my biggest problem, namely that it refers to "all kinds of mixing, convective and other". Where can I read what "other" kinds of mixing MESA uses and how the code calculates them?



Thank you for your help,


Gonçalo Andrade
