Hi Jingjing,
There may be a prettier way to do this, but I would go about this like so:
1) calculate the HI mass in each cell as HI_density * cell_volume:
HI_mass = sp['enzo','HI_Density'] * sp['dx']**3
2) then summing:
total_mass = sum(HI_mass)

Dear yt-users, I am trying to calculate the total HI mass within a sphere. I have a field called 'HI_Density'. And I tried to use the script
HI_Mass = sphere['enzo','HI_Density'].in_units('Msun').sum()
But I got an error that says the unit code_mass/code_length**3 cannot be converted to code_mass.
So I thought I might need to create a derived_field called 'HI_Mass' which mutiplies the HI_Density with code_length**3. But I don't see that there is any existing field of cell length/volume. So how should I do this? Or is there an easier way to compute the total HI mass without deriving a field?
Thanks, Jingjing
