Description

This setup resembles the sort of advection across the grid seen in wdmerger. When running at the problem's default (low) resolution, the star heats to a maximum temperature of over 1e9 K despite there not being any heat source on the domain. This causes a problem for simulations with reactions because it can cause the star to spontaneously ignite.
