+This page shows a revisit to {{ :dustdevils:fiedlerkanak2001.pdf | Rayleigh-Benard convection as a tool for studying dust devils}}, but with the computations done with numerical python.
+It is a substantial upgrade to [[https://12characters.net/dustdevil/ |my old dust devil page]].
 To reproduce these simulations, you may use my ipython notebook:

 Try

 if all went okay,
 <code>

 And then
 <code>
-./plottrace.py -s R4096g0w4.hist
+./plothist.py -s R4096g0w4.hist
 </code>
 That should produce the following image, which shows a dust devil event just prior to t=30.
