Re: [FLASH-USERS] Flux limited diffusion radiation

Robi-

The module exists, but has not been released. We were able
to construct a relatively crude 1-T thermal diffusion module
that solved linear and non-linear diffusion. As the IBEAM project
evolved, we found that the module was relatively slow and development
on it stopped.

If you are intersted, I can investigate it's status. Kevin Olson,
one of the PARAMESH developers, was the person most responsible
for creating this module. He may have incorporated it into other
PARAMESH applications. Also, radiation transport is a sticky
code module to release owing to export control issues. I do not
know if the FLASH module could be released. This issue came up
yet again at our recent site review. The same issue holds for IBEAM.
We were able to develop 2-d MGFLD and Boltzmann transport, but
it is not clear that we will be able to release the routines. We
are working on that now.
