allow for a 2 temperature formulation for hydro #2679
Description
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
where the
But the energy should follow:
