[newchem-cpp] Renaming Dust Grain Species

This is something we’ve previously touched on. But, it’s important that we figure this out so that we can create HDF5 files of injection pathway data.

It may take some time to fully propagate this change, but it would be good to make a decision.

The current names include:

MgSiO3_dust, AC_dust, SiM_dust, FeM_dust, Mg2SiO4_dust, Fe3O4_dust, SiO2_dust, MgO_dust, FeS_dust, Al2O3_dust, ref_org_dust, vol_org_dust, H2O_ice_dust,

I feel pretty strongly that we should rename:

  • AC_dust to something like amorphous_C_dust or amorphous_carbon_dust
  • SiM_dust -> Si_dust
  • FeM_dust -> Fe_dust

Other thoughts (to be clear, I'm ok with the status quo):

  • do we maybe want to rename ref_org_dust to refractive_org_dust or refractive_organic_dust
  • likewise, we could rename vol_org_dust to volatile_org_dust or volatile_organic_dust
  • are we happy with _dust as a suffix?
