Isolated Galaxy generated by the MakeNewDisk code from Springel, Di Matteo & Hernquist (2005). The done analysis in this example is similar to the work done by Schaye and Dalla Vecchia (2008) (After this SD08). The default example runs the simulation for a galaxy with similar mass of their fiducial model and should produce plots similar to their middle pannel Figure 4. The code needs to be configured to run with the Hernquist external potential as well as the cooling & star-formation model of interest. Using the EAGLE model allows to reproduce the results of SD08. The code can also be run for other situations to check to verify the law using different parameters, changes that were done in SD08 are given by: - gas fraction of 10% instead of 30%, change the IC to f10.hdf5, see getIC.sh, should reproduce something similar to Figure 4 left hand pannel. Requires change of fg=.1 - gas fraction of 90% instead of 30%, change the IC to f90.hdf5, see getIC.sh, should reproduce something similar to Figure 4 right hand pannel. Requires change of fg=.9 - Changing the effective equation of state to adiabatic, Jeans_gamma_effective = 1.666667. Should result in something similar to Figure 5 left hand pannel of SD08. - Changing the effective equation of state to isothermal, Jeans_gamma_effective = 1.0000. Should result in something similar to Figure 5 middle hand pannel of SD08. - Changing the slope of the Kennicutt-Schmidt law to 1.7, SchmidtLawExponent = 1.7, this should result in a plot similar to Figure 6 of SD08. - Increasing the density threshold by a factor of 10. thresh_norm_HpCM3 = 1.0, should reproduce plot similar to Figure 7. - Decreasing the density threshold by a factor of 10. thresh_norm_HpCM3 = 0.01, should reproduce plot similar to Figure 7. - Running with a lower resultion of a factor 8, change the IC to lowres8.hdf5, see getIC.sh. - Running with a lower resultion of a factor 64, change the IC to lowres64.hdf5, see getIC.sh. - Running with a lower resultion of a factor 512, change the IC to lowres512.hdf5, see getIC.sh. Other options to verify the correctness of the code is by chaning the following parameters: - Changing the normalization to A/2 or 2A. - Running the code with zero metallicity. - Running the code with a factor 6 higher resolution idealized disks, use highres6.hdf5, see getIC.sh. - Running with different SPH schemes like Anarchy-PU.
