Re: Trouble running the same simulation with gas particles

Hi Phil,

You would get an error of this kind if you set the temperature of your particles to zero and don't impose a temperature floor. Then the sound-speed ends up being zero, causing a division by zero when the Courant timestep criterion is evaluated.
