The images below are a collection of thumnails taken from 32 timesteps in the middle of the simulation. The images are ordered from left to right, and top to bottom in time. In each image, x-axis represents potential and y-axis represents ion heat flux. A periodic expansion and shrinking of regions with dense data points can be observed.
The shape of the regions with dense data points is similar to a pyramid. The following three images are generated from a cross-section of the mesh that corresponds to the dense regions shown above. From top to bottom, the images are corresponding to an early, a middle and a later time step.
From the images, it seems that there the heat flux and electrstatic potential are not correlated from the earliest time step, but then a certain level of correlation arises in the middle time steps.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think so as well. That is why the thumbnails are taken from the middle zone.

ReplyDeleteYou can check the video in next post. In the middle of the time, the video frames of the phi field contain both green (positive) and red (negative), but the video frame of the heat flux only contains green, which means that the heat flux field is non-negative during these time steps.
