void	TC_kappa (double v, double x1, double x2, double x3, double kpar, double knor, double phi)

Detailed Description

Use this function to supply the thermal conduction coefficients $\kappa_\|$ and $\kappa_\bot$ along and across magnetic field lines and the $\phi$ parameter used to control the magnitude of the saturated flux $F_{\rm sat} = 5\phi\rho c_{\rm iso}^3$ . To exclude saturation, simply set $\phi$ to a very large number.
