Parameters for the flow algorithm

  • ahfinder::ahf_flow (steerable)
    The fow algotithm is used by setting ahf_flow = "yes". The default is "no"
  • ahfinder::ahf_flowiter (steerable)
    Sets the maximum number of iterations for the flow algorithm. The default value is 200.
  • ahfinder::ahf_flowtol
    Sets the tolerance for the flow. The default value is 0.0001.
  • ahfinder::ahf_flowa
    Sets the $\alpha$ parameter for the flow. The default value is 0.01.
  • ahfinder::ahf_flowb
    Sets the $\beta$ parameter for the flow. The default value is 0.5.
  • ahfinder::ahf_flowh
    Sets the weight of $H$ flow. The default value is 0.0.
  • ahfinder::ahf_flowc
    Sets the weight of $C$ flow. The default value is 1.0.
  • ahfinder::ahf_flown
    Sets the weight of $N$ flow (not yet implemented). The default value is 0.0.
The character of the different flows and the $\alpha$ and $\beta$ parameters are described in Carsten Gundlach's paper on his pseudo-spectral apparent horizon finder (gr-qc/9707050).
