One possibility is also to modify the read-in routine of gadget such
that gas particles are automatically created for DM-only initial
conditions. This duplicates the set of dm particles, and shifts the
particle pairs such that the center-of-mass stays invariant, but at the
same time the two particle species form two interleaved grids/glasses.
This technique assumes that the displacement fields for gas and dark
matter are the same, which is ok unless you probe quite small scales.
Such an option already exists in gadget3. To do this in gadget2, one
would have to insert code modications in two places
before allocate_memory() is called, and before All.MaxPart ist set, one
would have to add something like
#ifdef GENERATE_GAS_IN_ICS
if(RestartFlag == 0)
{
All.TotN_gas += header.npartTotal[1];
All.TotNumPart += header.npartTotal[1];
}
#endif
And towards the end of read_ic(), before the temperatures/entropies are
initialized, one could add something like
#ifdef GENERATE_GAS_IN_ICS
int count;
double fac, d, a, b, rho;
if(RestartFlag == 0)
{
for(i = 0, count = 0; i < NumPart; i++)
if(P[i].Type == 1)
count++;
memmove(P + count, P, sizeof(struct particle_data) * NumPart);
NumPart += count;
N_gas += count;
fac = All.OmegaBaryon / All.Omega0;
rho = All.Omega0 * 3 * All.Hubble * All.Hubble / (8 * M_PI *
All.G);
int j;
for(i = count, j = 0; i < NumPart; i++)
if(P[i].Type == 1)
{
d = pow(P[i].Mass / rho, 1.0 / 3);
a = 0.5 * All.OmegaBaryon / All.Omega0 * d;
b = 0.5 * (All.Omega0 - All.OmegaBaryon) / All.Omega0 * d;
P[j] = P[i];
P[j].Mass *= fac;
P[i].Mass *= (1 - fac);
P[j].Type = 0;
P[j].ID += 1000000000;
P[i].Pos[0] += a;
P[i].Pos[1] += a;
P[i].Pos[2] += a;
P[j].Pos[0] -= b;
P[j].Pos[1] -= b;
P[j].Pos[2] -= b;
j++;
}
All.MassTable[0] = 0;
All.MassTable[1] *= (1 - fac);
}
#endif
Your milage with these changes may vary - debug yourself please.
