This directory contains the data that was used in the research paper
"An Energy Conserving Vlasov Solver That Tolerates Coarse Velocity Space Resolutions:
Simulation of MMS Reconnection Events",
Florian Allmann-Rahn, Simon Lautenbach, Rainer Grauer, 2021.


The MMS data in mms-data.tar.gz is taken from the MMS science data center (https://lasp.colorado.edu/mms/sdc/public/) and
is stored here for reference. It is subject to the MMS data policy (see https://lasp.colorado.edu/mms/sdc/public/about/).

All other files may be freely used without any restrictions.


The .pvti files represent simulation snapshots and can be opened e.g. using ParaView (https://www.paraview.org/).
The time of the respective snapshot (in inverse of ion cyclotron frequency) can be seen when the file is opened
with a text editor. In the csv/ subdirectories, a time series of space integrated quantities is given which can
be visualized using the postproc_csv.py script. In the log/ subdirectories, the muphy2 configuration files with
the initial conditions of the respective simulation are given.
