mass corrections¶
use_mass_corrections¶
Gravitational vs baryonic mass corrections.
The Lagrangian coordinate (\(m\)) in MESA is the baryonic mass and the density (\(\rho\)) is the baryonic mass density.
If false, then no distinction between gravitational and baryonic mass. If true, then the gravitational mass is calculated using mass corrections and the momentum equation, total energy equation, and Brunt are modified.
The variable mass_correction is the quantity you multiply
the baryonic mass density by to get the gravitational mass
density:
(mass density) = (baryon density) * amu * mass_correction
Given the mass fractions in a cell, the value of
mass_correction is provided by the chem module.
MESA holds m_grav fixed during the newton iterations. This results in an energy conservation error, because the specific potential energy changes when m_grav is updated afterwards. A message showing the relative energy error incurred due to this assumption will be printed to the terminal.
Not compatible with RSP.
use_mass_corrections = .false.
WD phase separation¶
do_phase_separation¶
Phase separation upon crystallization in WD cores (currently only for C/O white dwarf cores) using the phase diagram of Blouin et al. 2021.
do_phase_separation = .false.
do_phase_separation_heating¶
if true, calculate heating term associated with changes in internal energy due to any abundance changes from phase separation, and include this term in the energy equation.
do_phase_separation_heating = .true.
phase_separation_mixing_use_brunt¶
if true, the phase separation mixing recalculates relevant EOS quantities and evaluates the Ledoux criterion, including the brunt B term that depends on the composition gradient. This can be somewhat expensive, so this option can be set to false to instead just mix outward until there is no more negative mu gradient. These will produce similar final chemical profiles, but setting this option to true is the only way to properly evaluate the physical criterion.
phase_separation_mixing_use_brunt = .true.
phase_separation_no_diffusion¶
if true and element diffusion is on, prevent element diffusion from occurring in the layers where phase separation mixing is present (experimental)
phase_separation_no_diffusion = .false.
