Cactus Code Thorn Dissipation
Thorn Author(s)     : Erik Schnetter <schnetter@aei.mpg.de>
Thorn Maintainer(s) : Erik Schnetter <schnetter@aei.mpg.de>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Purpose of the thorn:

Add fourth order Kreiss-Oliger dissipation to the right hand side of
evolution equations.  This thorn works only for time evolutions that
use MoL.  I thank Scott Hawley who wrote a very similar thorn
HawleyThorns/Dissipation for evolutions that do not use MoL; this
thorn here is modelled after his.

For a description of the artificial dissipation, see H. Kreiss and
J. Oliger, "Methods for the Approximate Solution of Time Dependent
Problems", vol. 10 of Global Atmospheric Research Programme (GARP):
GARP Publication Series (GARP Publication, 1973).

%  Cactus Thorn template for ThornGuide documentation
%  Author: Ian Kelley
%  Date: Sun Jun 02, 2002
%  $Header$                                                             
%
%  Thorn documentation in the latex file doc/documentation.tex 
%  will be included in ThornGuides built with the Cactus make system.
%  The scripts employed by the make system automatically include 
%  pages about variables, parameters and scheduling parsed from the 
%  relevant thorn CCL files.
%  
%  This template contains guidelines which help to assure that your     
%  documentation will be correctly added to ThornGuides. More 
%  information is available in the Cactus UsersGuide.
%                                                    
%  Guidelines:
%   - Do not change anything before the line
%       % START CACTUS THORNGUIDE",
%     except for filling in the title, author, date, etc. fields.
%        - Each of these fields should only be on ONE line.
%        - Author names should be separated with a \\ or a comma.
%   - You can define your own macros, but they must appear after
%     the START CACTUS THORNGUIDE line, and must not redefine standard 
%     latex commands.
%   - To avoid name clashes with other thorns, 'labels', 'citations', 
%     'references', and 'image' names should conform to the following 
%     convention:          
%       ARRANGEMENT_THORN_LABEL
%     For example, an image wave.eps in the arrangement CactusWave and 
%     thorn WaveToyC should be renamed to CactusWave_WaveToyC_wave.eps
%   - Graphics should only be included using the graphicx package. 
%     More specifically, with the "\includegraphics" command.  Do
%     not specify any graphic file extensions in your .tex file. This 
%     will allow us to create a PDF version of the ThornGuide
%     via pdflatex.
%   - References should be included with the latex "\bibitem" command.

Add $n$th-order Kreiss-Oliger dissipation to the right hand side of
evolution equations.  This thorn is intended for time evolutions that
use MoL.

\section{Physical System}
For a description of Kreiss-Oliger artificial dissipation, see \cite{kreiss-oliger}.

The additional dissipation terms appear as follows, for a general grid function $U$. Here, the
tensor character of the field is irrelevant: each component of, say, $\tilde{\gamma}_{ij}$ is
treated as an independent field for dissipation purposes.
%
\begin{eqnarray*}
\partial_t U &=& \partial_t U + (-1)^{(p+3)/2} \epsilon \frac{1}{2^{p+1}} \left( h_x^{p} \frac{\partial^{(p+1)}}{\partial x^{(p+1)}} + h_y^{p} \frac{\partial^{(p+1)}}{\partial y^{(p+1)}} +
h_z^{p} \frac{\partial^{(p+1)}}{\partial z^{(p+1)}}\right) U, \\
             &=& \partial_t U + (-1)^{(p+3)/2} \epsilon \frac{h^{p}}{2^{p+1}} \left( \frac{\partial^{(p+1)}}{\partial x^{(p+1)}} + \frac{\partial^{(p+1)}}{\partial y^{(p+1)}} +
\frac{\partial^{(p+1)}}{\partial z^{(p+1)}}\right) U,
\end{eqnarray*}
%
where $h_x$, $h_y$, and $h_z$ are the local grid spacings in each Cartesian direction, and the
second equality holds in the usual situation where the three are equal: $h_x = h_y = h_z = h$.

\section{Implementation in Cactus}

The \texttt{Dissipation} thorn's dissipation rate is controlled by a small number of parameters:
%
\begin{itemize}
  \item \texttt{order} is the order $p$ of the dissipation, implying the use of the $(p+1)$-st spatial derivatives;
  \item \texttt{epsdiss} is the overall dissipation strength $\epsilon$.
\end{itemize}

Currently available values of \texttt{order} are $p \in \{1, 3, 5, 7, 9\}$. To apply dissipation at
order $p$ requires that we have at least $(p+1)/2$ ghostzones --- $\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}$, respectively.

The list of fields to be dissipated is specified in the parameter \texttt{vars}. The thorn does
not allow for individually tuned dissipation strengths for different fields. However, the
dissipation strength $\epsilon$ can be varied according to refinement level, using the parameter
array \texttt{epsdis\_for\_level}, which overrides \texttt{epsdiss} if set.

The thorn also allows for enhanced dissipation within the apparent horizons, triggered by the
boolean parameter \texttt{extra\_dissipation\_in\_horizons}, and near the outer boundary,
triggered by the boolean parameter \texttt{extra\_dissipation\_at\_outerbound}. Both of these
default to ``no''.

\subsection{Acknowledgements}
I thank Scott Hawley who wrote a very similar thorn
\texttt{HawleyThorns/Dissipation} for evolutions that do not use MoL;
this thorn here is modelled after his.
