Documentation

These pages are intended to serve as a concise technical manual for installing, configuring, running, and analyzing CosmicGrain simulations.

Contents

• Dust Transport Log — on-the-fly log in each run
• Compilation — build requirements and configuration options.
• Parameter Files — dust-specific runtime parameters.
• Output Fields — snapshot fields and units.
• Analysis Scripts — plotting and diagnostic tools.

Dust Transport Log

For easier analysis, information is saved to text files in the run's "dust_logs" folder corresponding to destruction events (astration, shocks, etc) with the dust's birth location.

Compilation

Compilation notes will be added here, including recommended compiler flags and library paths for common systems.

Parameter Files

Dust yield, grain-size, drag, sputtering, and feedback-related parameters can be documented here.

Output Fields

Dust particle output fields may include mass, grain radius, grain composition, temperature, and related quantities.

Analysis Scripts

Analysis utilities for radial dust profiles, dust-to-metal ratios, density-temperature diagrams, and visualization can be listed here.
