Gas surface density maps (top) and power spectra (bottom) for ramses simulations of isolated galaxies with different settings: Left: simulation with no Jeans polytrope pressure floor. Right: simulation with a more easily triggered refinement criterion that enables 15 pc resolution throughout the galactic disk (and without the Jeans polytrope). Removing the Jeans polytrope ensures that the power on scales 200 pc is similar in ramses and gasoline simulations. Enhancing the typical cell size in ramses leads to improved agreement between ramses and gasoline power spectra on scales 50 pc at the expense of a discrepancy at moderate scales of 50–200 pc (as well as additional computational cost).
