IPE Physics Review with Phil #22

Open twfang opened 4 years ago

  1. Plasmaspheric Depletion (03/11/2020): The correct implementation needs to be modified. In Flip/CTIP-int.f we need to call NEW_HPEQ (in INIT-PROFILES.f) with time-varying Kp and then call NEW_HP (in INIT-PROFILES.f) to have correct depletion. Currently, no depletion is included in the code.

  2. Aurora Precipitation (3/18/2020): The current implementation seems to be correct but needs to be double checked. The SUBROUTINE Auroral_Precipitation is called inside IPE_Plasma_Class.F90 to calculate ionization rate for O+, O2+, N2+. The ionization rates then go into FLIP as Aur_prod to subroutine SUMPRD (in RSPRIM.f) and to be included in the total ionization.
