Runtime Parameters

Microphysics/extern parameter format

The microphysics/extern parameter definitions take the form of:

# comment describing the parameter
name              data-type       default-value      priority

Here, the priority is simply an integer. When two directories define the same parameter, but with different defaults, the version of the parameter with the highest priority takes precedence. This allows specific implementations to override the general parameter defaults.

The documentation below for the Castro C parameters is automatically generated, using the comments in the _cpp_parameters file.
