Is merging filaments in 3D possible? #3

seob1 commented 4 years ago

Hi,

I am trying to run the merging filaments. I would like to see 3D effects of the merging filaments such as kink instability. I just simply tried to change ny = 1 to ny = 10 and did not work as expected. I think significant modification of the code might be required. Is it right? Is there a simpler way for me to try 3D merging filaments?

Thanks!

Hello, Yes I think significant changes would be needed for this to work in 3D. Perhaps possible, but all the terms in the equations which include toroidal derivatives are currently zero and would need to be added.
