Wind propagation & mixing ¤ No code follows kinetic ejection correctly, while superheating requires high resolution and results in mostly warm/hot outflow. How do we get the dynamic range we want with proper hydro? ¤ Mixing is too strong within mesh cells, too weak among SPH particles. What is the right balance? ¤ How do mixing and ejection differ in hot halos vs cool halos? How much hot gas makes a hot halo? ¤ Can we develop a set of post-Agertzian tests to quantify mixing & propagation in cold vs hot halos? ¤ What observations can shed light on this? (Cloud properties in outflows? Halo hot gas content?)
