Hi everyone,

It looks to me like this issue was never resolved - for instance when I attempt to save the clump hierarchy (which I can now find thanks to Kacper!), it complains about not finding NumberDensity (traceback here: http://pastebin.com/NSuaj8XH ). I got it to work using a potentially non-optimal solution, namely adding the following lines to the end of yt/frontends/flash/fields.py -- http://pastebin.com/jYWcZCDj

I can imagine this failing if the dataset uses the Helmholtz EoS or maybe with multispecies, but maybe it would work (I don't have any datasets handy which use these).

Thank you,
John

Hi Matt,

There's actually an issue related to this that we closed before the 2.4 release: https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issue/401/entropy-field-does-not-work-for-non-enzo

Basically, we would need to pare the FLASH data dumps, search for the appropriate runtime parameters that control the EOS settings (as described in section 15 of the FLASH docs: http://flash.uchicago.edu/site/flashcode/user_support/flash4_ug/node22.html), and from that back out what mean molecular weight is.

I think it would be possible for Mark to define his own NumberDensity field in his .yt/my_plugins file as a stopgap solution.

Hi all,

Mark Richardson wrote to the yt_analysis project with a problem with
clumps on FLASH datasets.  Here's his email:

"Below includes my script and the output (it wouldn't let me attach
two files). I get some output in the clump file up until I'd expect to
see the Jeans Mass dumped. The output makes me think that it can't
calculate this point because Gamma is unknown, or some other essential
variable needed to get the number density. I've attempted to change
the data_structure.py frontend for Flash to alias Gamma to gamc and
game but I still get the 'cannot find Gamma' when loading my dataset."

The issue from the traceback is that JeansMassMsun requires
MeanMolecularWeight which needs NumberDensity.  This can't be
generated for his data.

I am not an expert on FLASH, but it seems that this should be
straightforward to fix, I just don't know how.  Anybody from the FLASH
or Clump side have any ideas?
