Got D/H=0.01 runs finished and sharing the results:

As could be seen big changes in the code (see previous post) yielded totally different picture:

which seems to be right now.
As the next step we are heading for the gas chemistry hacking within our code.

The major bug fixes and version 3.0 is available for download.

Version 3.0 available for download.

The major bug fixes:
- fixed D mass in the velocities calculations. The bug caused improper reaction probabilities calculations and screwed the resulting chemistry.
- removed HD and D2 from the main population processing into separate bins. They were influencing chemistry by holding active sites on the grain surface.
- fixed D/H ratio output and log file format along with parser to IDL.

Okay, some progress in the code quality.



Among other things I've cleaned up Checkstyle warnings and get overall number of issues about 82. Most of these are low priority and false-positive issues found by FindBugs and PMD.

Just finished all of my plots:

Beware of Windows-style line endings.

Beware of Windows-style line endings!!!

Beware of Windows-style line endings!!!

I set up and run about 10 experiments over last night to investigate the cascade behavior. Everything went wrong! Each of the runs! Why? Because each parameters line in the shell script was ending with windows ^M symbol and Apache CLI library somehow didn't get that this is the line end. I've got all runs with cascade on and d/h ratio 0.5. Nice...
