#773: McLachlan dissipation should be disabled by default --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: eschnett Type: enhancement | Status: assigned Priority: major | Milestone: ET_2012_05 Component: Other | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: --------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Comment (by eschnett):
Only the default value of the parameter should be changed.
I am trying this change (only changing the default for apply_dissipation from "always" to "never"). For some reason, this breaks the test cases {{{ KerrSchild-rotating-180 (from RotatingSymmetry180) KerrSchild-rotating-90 (from RotatingSymmetry90) }}} which don't set any of McLachlan's dissipation parameters, and which should therefore currently not be applying dissipation. The differences look significant.
I don't understand why there are differences in these test cases, and am therefore not applying this patch at the moment.
