[Mesa-users] Revision of structral variables after mass adjustement in new versions of MESA

[Arman Aryaeipour]

Hi Frank,

Many thanks for your reply! I see that the radius is updated at the end of the do_adjust_mass subroutine to reflect the new mass structure of the model, but I don't see where the other structural variables are updated.

I ask as the variable I'm concerned about is velocity at the cell face. I'm using the other_adjust_mdot hook to eject mass that is going beyond the ejection velocity. When mass is ejected from the model and the mass structure is updated in the do_adjust_mass subroutine, the velocity of the cells should also be updated to reflect the new mass structure no? I don't see where in the do_adjust_mass subroutine the velocity variable is updated, or any of the other structural variables.

Perhaps I'm not seeing where the structural variables are updated in the subroutine, could you kindly point me towards where this is done?

Best wishes,
Arman Aryaeipour

hi armen,

a quick look suggests the functionality still resides within star/private/adjust_mass.f90.

the is fairly deep in the source. what takes you there?

In mesa-r15140, I can see that this is done in the set_cell_stuff_for_d_dt and set_face_stuff_for_d_dt subroutines within the do_adjust_mass subroutine.

Are the structural variables revised after mass adjustment in these two new versions of MESA? I'm currently using MESA version mesa-r21.12.1.
