Figure 1 and 2 are generic and not based on simulation data. The other figures are created using Python Matplotlib to read simulation output ADIOS2 data files (*.bp). Figure 3 is input profiles at the start of the simulation. Figures 4-8 compare the simulation outputs of the 3 different simulations given by the uploaded *.tar.gz compressed folders. Figures 4-7 are obtained by reading the corresponding quantities from xgc.fsourcediag.bp and using mesh information in xgc.mesh.bp, xgc.f0.mesh.bp. Figure 8 is obtained from the xgc.2d.*.bp files and the xgc.mesh.bp file. The figures show the first 400 simulation time steps.
