GiRaFFE and HydroBase variables are incompatible; The former uses 3-velocity defined as \(v^i = u^i/u^0\), and the latter uses the Valencia formalism definition of \(v^i\).
Define the Valencia formalism’s definition of \(v^i\) to be ”\(W^i\)”, and GiRaFFE’s definition ”\(v^i\)” Then
\begin {equation} W^i = (v^i + \beta ^i) / (\alpha ), \end {equation}
which comes from Eq 11 in the GiRaFFE code announcement paper:
http://arxiv.org/pdf/1501.07276.pdf.
Similarly, \begin {equation} v_i = (\alpha ) W^i - \beta ^i \end {equation}
In addition, GiRaFFE needs the A-fields to be defined on staggered grids, and HydroBase does not yet
support this option. The staggerings are defined in Table 1 of the GiRaFFE code announcement paper:
http://arxiv.org/pdf/1501.07276.pdf (page 15).
The long-term goal should be to adjust HydroBase and GiRaFFE so that this thorn is no longer necessary.

| Description: How often to convert GiRaFFE primitive variables to HydroBase (Valencia
formulation) primitive variables? Needed for some ET-based diagnostics. NOT needed for pure
GiRaFFE runs.

This section lists all the variables which are assigned storage by thorn WVUThorns/GiRaFFE_to_HydroBase. Storage can either last for the duration of the run (Always means that if this thorn is activated storage will be assigned, Conditional means that if this thorn is activated storage will be assigned for the duration of the run if some condition is met), or can be turned on for the duration of a schedule function.
