Purpose of this Thorn
=====================
This thorn provides initial conditions for an FLRW metric perturbed with the 
comoving curvature perturbation Rc in the comoving gauge. 
Rc is defined as a sum of sinusoidals, cosines or exponentials whose 
parameters are defined in param.ccl. 

While the metric only have first order scalar 
perturbations, the extrinsic curvature and energy density are 
computed exactly in full from the Hamiltonian constraint, hence vector 
and tensor perturbations are initially present at higher order. 
Metric quantities are provided to ADMBase while fluid quantities are 
passed to HydroBase.

How to implement this thorn into Einstein Toolkit:
==================================================
===== 1) Have a working version of Einstein Toolkit
# Follow the instructions here
# https://github.com/nds-org/jupyter-et/blob/master/tutorial-server/notebooks/CactusTutorial.ipynb
# Don't forget to try to run HelloWorld

#If you're doing this on an HPC
>> cd pathtocactus
>> ./simfactory/bin/sim setup-silent --machine=HPCname
>> ./simfactory/bin/sim build --machine=HPCname --thornlist=thornlists/einsteintoolkit.th

#The paths of the HPC config files are:
# pathtocactus/simfactory/mdb/machines/HPCname.ini
# pathtocactus/simfactory/mdb/optionlists/HPCname.cfg
# pathtocactus/simfactory/mdb/runscripts/HPCname.run
# pathtocactus/simfactory/mdb/submitscripts/HPCname.sub

===== 2) Modify Time
# In arrangements/CactusBase/Time/param.ccl change 
private:
CCTK_KEYWORD dtfac "The standard timestep condition dt = dtfac*max(delta_space)"
# to:
restricted:
CCTK_KEYWORD dtfac "The standard timestep condition dt = dtfac*max(delta_space)"
# This is because dtfac is overwritten 
# Time::dtfac = ICPertFLRW_GRH_time_fac * scale_factor

===== 3) Modify GRHydro remove mask
# In arrangements/EinsteinEvolve/GRHydro/src/GRHydro_UpdateMask.F90
# when you see
atmosphere_mask_real(i,j,k) = 1
atmosphere_mask(i,j,k) = 1
# change the 1 to 0
# This is to not have the atmosphere interfere with underdense regions

===== 4) Include ICPertFLRW_GRH in Einstein Toolkit
# link
>> cd path_to_Cactus/Cactus/arrangements/EinsteinInitialData/
>> ln -s path_to_thorn/ICPertFLRW_GRH .
# add to Cactus/thornlists/einsteintoolkit.th, in EinsteinInitialData section
EinsteinInitialData/ICPertFLRW_GRH

===== 5) Compile Einstein Toolkit
# in Cactus directory
>> ./simfactory/bin/sim build -j2 --thornlist=thornlists/einsteintoolkit.th
# Or
>> ./simfactory/bin/sim build --machine=HPCname --thornlist=thornlists/einsteintoolkit.th

===== 6) Run test.par to check if it works
>> ./simfactory/bin/sim create-submit test_ICPertFLRW_GRH --parfile=arrangements/EinsteinInitialData/ICPertFLRW_GRH/test_ICPertFLRW_GRH.par --procs=1 --num-threads=1
# Or
>> ./simfactory/bin/sim create-submit test_ICPertFLRW_GRH --machine=HPCname --parfile=arrangements/EinsteinInitialData/ICPertFLRW_GRH/test_ICPertFLRW_GRH.par --procs=1 --num-threads=1

===== 7) Check the output
with
>> tail -30 ~/simulations/test_ICPertFLRW_GRH/output-0000/test_ICPertFLRW_GRH.out
you should see:

  This thorn provides initial data to be evolved with Einstein Toolkit via the ADMBase and HydroBase thorns. As initial conditions, these are of an FLRW metric perturbed with the comoving curvature perturbation Rc in the synchronous comoving gauge. Rc is defined as a sum of either sines, cosines or exponentials (20 in each x, y, and z direction) whose parameters are all in param.ccl. While the metric and extrinsic curvature only have first order scalar perturbations, the energy density is computed exactly in full from the Hamiltonian constraint, hence vector and tensor perturbations are initially present at higher order.
