allow for a 2 temperature formulation for hydro #2679

We want to do this by using the Godunov state to construct |

working on the EOS here: |
There are a few more issues to think about:

There is a better way to do this that doesn't require any changes to the conservative update, transverse terms, or synchronozation of e and E: we can advect the fraction, f = e_e / e. This takes the form: So we only need the source term here, which is straightforward. |
The WarpX folks want to have a separate temperature for electrons and ions (heavies), and a source term that represents the equilibriation via collisions. It seems like we can do this by tapping into the aux passives.
We will define the total energy always as:
and that is the conserved energy the is needed to get shocks correct. We still still have the Castro internal energy / dual energy formulation that will keep track of
but now we will have an aux state of$\rho e_h$ . This will satisfy via Castro
where the$$S$$ part will rely on PR #2678 . I think there is additional work needed there to use the source in the interface state prediction.
But the energy should follow:
