Dear Lorenzo,
It is to be expected that the region with the highest density and gravity is the one with the highest constraint violation.
I think that the problem you are seeing is an output one.
(Disclaimer, this is my understanding; I might very well be wrong)
You have several refinement levels. Different refinement levels evolve at a different pace (determined by your time_refinement_factors, which by default is essentially proportionally to your local dx), and iteration #4 (that you are plotting) is not one where all the refinement levels are synced.
My guess is that the stars will appear if you plot iterations 128.
You might also be able use kuibit to inspect your HDF5 files and see what refinement levels are in the data.
That would be something like: ``` import kuibit print(SimDir("PATH_OF_DATA_FOLDER").gf.xy["rho"][4].available_refinement_levels) ```
Best, Gabriele

I noticed that the Hamiltonian constraint violation along the x-axis (y=0, z=0) (in the attached image, taken from the H.xy.h5 file), has a very peculiar shape, aligned with the stars profile. This is very wrong, am I right? So, the problem is either in the EoS, more likely, or Lorene.

Lorenzo, I opened the hdf5 file you sent me and I indeed see the same problem (I attached a couple of snapshots). So it is not a problem of resolution. Did you check that hydro quantities and spacetime variables are initialized correctly (just in case there is a problem with the initial data file)?
Cheers, Bruno

Dear Bruno,
I increased the resolution so that the finest level now has a resolution of 7/2^5 = 0.21875 using a smaller coarse grid, but the output remains unchanged.
Please let me know your thoughts on this!
Best, Lorenzo

Lorenzo, the perfectly cut away may be due to the fact that you may have had failures in con2prim on the finest levels (and maybe points got set to atmosphere), but the coarser levels were not computed yet. Your standard output reports indeed errors in c2p. You use 6 refinement levels and therefore all levels are at the same time every 2^(6-1)=32 iterations. At iteration 4 only the 3 most inner levels would be at the same.
I would increase the resolution since your finest grid is using a resolution of 12/2^5 = 0.375 so that you have a resolution of at least 0.24 on the finest level (level 5) and check if this solves the problem.
Cheers, Bruno

Dear all, my name is Lorenzo Cipriani, PhD student at the University of L'Aquila.
My goal is to simulate a BNS merger using initial data computed from Lorene and evolved according to the parameter file I have attached. Cactus reads the initial data correctly, as you can see in the image "rhoxy_initial.png" but, immediately after, the stars practically disappear from the grid, perfectly cut away (see image "rhoxy_it4.png").
Does anybody have a hint on what might be happening? I have never encountered a behavior like this.
Thank you for your assistance, best regards, Lorenzo _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@einsteintoolkit.org http://lists.einsteintoolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/users
