scheme

Time integration scheme. GTS marches physical time with this scheme itself, so the scheme sets the run's order of accuracy — only the three-stage TVD Runge-Kutta (SSP-RK3, third order) is admissible.

name
default runge kutta

Physical time integration scheme. Global time stepping admits only the three-stage TVD Runge-Kutta

Options

stage
default 3

Runge-Kutta stage configuration: the three-stage TVD scheme (SSP-RK3), third order in physical time. Spelled either 3 or 'rk third order tvd' — the same scheme either way

Options
ValueWhat it does
3 default
