18. The difference between the actual and the predicted evolution of E (at early times) and J was due primarily to numerical error introduced by the Coriolis term in the rotating-frame evolution equations. A higher-order expression for this term has now been implemented, and even better agreement is expected in future simulations.
19. In the barotropic hydrodynamic code used in this simulation, the structure of a shock is correctly evolved, but the energy dissipated in the shock is simply ignored.
