List of simulations

sh3 3D hybrid simulation of a perpendicular shock with M_A=3.1, beta_p=0.2. Available products: B, B_x, B_y, B_z, Density, U, U_x, U_y, U_z
Coordinates X axis is parallel to the shock normal, Y axis is aligned with the upstream magnetic field.	Initial conditions The shock is launched by reflection off the wall at t=-10/Omega_p. Only a part of the simulation box is shown, the data are transformed to the shock rest frame. Upstream beta_p=0.2, M_A=3.1; upstream beta_e=0.01.	Parameters Grid: N_x = N_y = N_z = 128 (only a part of the simulation box is used); Time step: dt=0.005/Omega_p. Cell size: dx=0.1 d_p, dy=dz=0.2 d_p
Simulation presets (no presets available for this simulation)	Products in simulation B - Magnitude of the magnetic field B_x - X component of the magnetic field B_y - Y component of the magnetic field B_z - Z component of the magnetic field Density - Proton number density U - Magnitude of the proton bulk velocity U_x - X component of the proton bulk velocity U_y - Y component of the proton bulk velocity U_z - Z component of the proton bulk velocity

sh2_out 2D hybrid simulation of a perpendicular shock with M_A=3.3, beta_p=0.2 with B_0 perpendicular to the simulation plane. Available products: B, B_x, B_y, B_z, Density, U, U_x, U_y, U_z
Coordinates X axis is parallel to the shock normal.	Initial conditions The shock is launched by reflection off the wall at t=-20/Omega_p. Only a part of the simulation box is shown, the data are transformed to the shock rest frame. Upstream beta_p=beta_e=0.2, M_A=3.3; B_0 is perpendicular to the simulation plane.
