Overview of the modes in STELLAR_WIND.PY and their suggested application domains.
| Mode | Section | Description | Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simple | 2.2 | Creates particles with a radial velocity given by the desired terminal wind velocity. | Detailed wind interaction simulations well outside the acceleration zone and past the sonic point. |
| Accelerating | 2.3 | Similar to simple wind, but also accelerate particles near the star. | Detailed wind simulation near or inside the acceleration zone and near the sonic point. |
| Heating | 2.4 | Does not give new particles a radial velocity, but instead adds internal energy to the particles. | Large scale, low resolution simulations of wind from embedded stars, including the effect of a supernova. |
