#449: Check for periodicity of initial data with Periodic thorn --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Other | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Periodic --------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Comment (by rhaas):
if we add this functionality to Periodic. Should it also be added to the Reflection/Rotating symmetry thorns? There might actually be initial data thorns out there that actually rely on the symmetry thorn to enforce symmetries and do not set anything in eg. what look like ghost zones (which will be filled in by symmetry/SYNC). An example would be an ID thorn that uses numerical derivatives eg. to get Kij from the metric, its time derivative and the spatial derivative of beta (ie. CalcK). Are ID thorns required to fill in everything or just the interior?
