Ntot

Back to parameter list

Total number of time intervals DT over which the simulation is performed. The total number of hydrodynamic variables outputs is therefore Ntot/Ninterm.

Example:

We want to simulate the disk response to an embedded planet located at r=1 over 100 orbits, with a hydro variables output every 5 orbits, and a torque time sampling of one tenth of an orbit.

An orbit lasts 2PI=6.283185 time units.
We have to set:

DT              0.6283185        (one tenth of an orbit)
Ninterm      50                    (fifty tenth of an orbit = 5 orbits)
Ntot            1000
