Canonical Moon-Forming Giant Impact
===================================
NOTE: This doesn't really work because the EOS are different to Canup (2004) so
the impactor just glances then flies away!
A version of the canonical moon-forming giant impact of Theia onto the early
Earth (Canup 2004; Barr 2016). Both bodies are here made of a (Tillotson) iron
core and granite mantle. Only ~10,000 particles are used for a quick and crude
simulation.
Setup
-----
In `swiftsim/`:
`$ ./configure --with-hydro=minimal-multi-mat --with-equation-of-state=planetary`
`$ make`
In `swiftsim/examples/MoonFormingImpact/`:
`$ ./get_init_cond.sh`
Run
---
`$ ./run.sh`
Output
------
`$ python plot.py`
`$ mplayer anim.mpg`
