output ncdm distribution function #76

Open ctchiang opened 8 years ago

ctchiang commented 8 years ago

Hi,

I was trying to output the ncdm distribution function by modifying the subroutine "perturb_total_stress_energy". Basically I added some lines to get y[index] with the correct index corresponding to ncdm species. Most of the distribution functions I got for given wavenumber, momentum, and l (moment in Legendre polynomials) are fine, but some of them are very strange. Specifically, I got NaN, and extremely large numbers like 1e308 for large l. I wonder if there is something wrong in my added lines.

My modified version is attached, and the added lines are sandwiched by "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" at line 5390.

In terms of the parameter file, I have N_ncdm = 0 m_ncdm = 0.1 ncdm_fluid_approximation = 3 l_max_ncdm = 20 gauge=newtonian

Thanks so much for your reply! Chi-Ting

Another question - I thought that in the CLASS format, the large-scale (super-horizon) CDM transfer functions in newtonian and synchronous gauge are related by

T{synchronous} = T{newtonian} * (2/3) * (k/aH)^2

My result is attached, which is not what I expected. newtonian_to_synchronous.pdf

Do I miss something here?

Thanks again for your reply! Chi-Ting
