[Mesa-users] Brunt-Vaisala frequency is noisy

Dear MESA users,

I'm trying to evolve a 1.5 solar mass star to a point in the red giant 
branch. For this model, among other quantities, I need the Brunt-Vaisala 
(which from here on I shall call BV) frequency in the main sequence, 
subgiant and red giant phases.

The BV determined by MESA is shown to be extremely noisy, and I don't 
understand why. I'm sending attached the BV^2 plots for these 3 phases, 
as well as the inlist I am using. I am using release 10398.

I don't understand why this is happening, so I would be greatly 
appreciated if someone could help me solving this problem.

Thank you very much for your attention,

Pedro
