Pull request overview
Fixes MUSCL-THINC right-state reconstruction by preserving pre-overwrite density ratios from the left state and reusing them for both left and right reconstructions.
Changes:
- Save pre-reconstruction density ratios (
rho_b,rho_e) before THINC overwritesvL_rs_vf_*values. - Update left/right reconstructions to use the saved ratios instead of dividing by potentially overwritten left-state fields.

- Around line 250-256: The GPU parallel loop's private clause for the MUSCL
reconstruction is missing scalars A, B, and C which leads to cross-thread data
races; update the private list in the GPU_PARALLEL_LOOP invocation (the clause
currently listing j,k,l,aCL,aC,aCR,aTHINC,moncon,sign,qmin,qmax,rho_b,rho_e) to
also include A, B, and C so that the loop-local temporaries A, B, C used in the
MUSCL/THINC computation are private per thread (look for the muscl_dir
conditional and the GPU_PARALLEL_LOOP macro surrounding the loop body where
A/B/C are assigned and used).
- Around line 282-284: Guard against near-zero denominators when computing rho_b
and rho_e by clamping or early-checking the MUSCL-reconstructed state
vL_rs_vf_${XYZ}$ (j,k,l,advxb) using the existing sgm_eps (or ic_eps) tolerance:
ensure advxb is not below sgm_eps before dividing for rho_b and ensure (1 -
advxb) is not below sgm_eps before dividing for rho_e; if either check fails,
use a safe fallback (e.g., set rho_b/rho_e to a clipped value or the
cell-average aC) so that rho_b, rho_e computations in this block cannot produce
NaN/Inf.

282-284:⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 MinorNear-zero denominator guard still missing on
rho_b/rho_eThe outer guard checks the cell-average
aC(fromv_rs_ws_*_muscl), but the denominators on lines 283–284 use the MUSCL-reconstructed left statevL_rs_vf_${XYZ}$(j,k,l,advxb), which can legitimately be smaller thanic_eps(or1 - advxb < ic_eps) when a neighbouring cell is nearly pure (TVD limiters allow the face value to reach the neighbour average). The existingsgm_epsin line 278 covers the same risk pattern; applying it here is consistent.🛡️ Proposed fix

Summary
Severity: HIGH — right-state reconstruction uses overwritten left-state values.
File:
src/simulation/m_muscl.fpp, lines 285-301In the MUSCL-THINC interface reconstruction, the left-state values (
vL_rs_vfforcontxb,contxe, andadvxb) are overwritten during left reconstruction. The right-state reconstruction then divides by these already-overwritten values instead of the original cell-center values. While the math accidentally cancels (left THINC value / left THINC value = original ratio), this relies on exact cancellation and is fragile.Before
After
Why this went undetected
The algebraic cancellation makes this produce correct results in most cases. The refactor makes the intent explicit and eliminates dependence on accidental algebraic cancellation.
