CVS info : $Header$ Cactus Code Thorn Dissipation Thorn Author(s) : Erik Schnetter Thorn Maintainer(s) : Erik Schnetter -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Purpose of the thorn: Add fourth order Kreiss-Oliger dissipation to the right hand side of evolution equations. This thorn works only for time evolutions that use MoL. I thank Scott Hawley who wrote a very similar thorn HawleyThorns/Dissipation for evolutions that do not use MoL; this thorn here is modelled after his. For a description of the artificial dissipation, see H. Kreiss and J. Oliger, "Methods for the Approximate Solution of Time Dependent Problems", vol. 10 of Global Atmospheric Research Programme (GARP): GARP Publication Series (GARP Publication, 1973).
