Hi all,
In conjunction with the recent update to IllinoisGRMHD, I just made public a couple of thorns that provide a HydroBase <-> IllinoisGRMHD compatibility layer.
ID_converter_ILGRMHD: This thorn converts Valencia formulation variables into variables IllinoisGRMHD can read, making it possible to input HydroBase-compatible initial data into IllinoisGRMHD.
convert_to_HydroBase: This thorn converts IllinoisGRMHD GRMHD variables into variables compatible with HydroBase every "convert_to_HydroBase_every" iterations. This thorn enables you to use HydroBase-compatible analysis thorns with IllinoisGRMHD.
There are a couple items on the TODO list for these thorns: 1) Because there is no uniform scheduling bin that runs after HydroBase_Initial, one must edit ID_converter_ILGRMHD/schedule.ccl to force the ID converter to be run AFTER the final initial data function in HydroBase_Initial
2) As we discussed during the Aug 17, 2015 ET telecon, there are symlinks inside these thorns to IllinoisGRMHD source code, requiring these thorns to be placed in the same subdirectory as the main IllinoisGRMHD code. If the symlinks must go, I would like to know the least painful way of getting rid of these symlinks without duplicating code.
