STAGES ityp [COEFFICIENTS x1 x2 ... xn] [zone_selector] |
For structured grids, this keyword allows the user to use a Runge-Kutta time stepping option. The parameter ityp specifies the number of stages, and x1 x2 ... xn specify the coefficients. The following ityp values are available:
ityp | Stages | Order | Description |
---|---|---|---|
0 | 1 | 1 | Backward Euler method |
1 | 4 | 2 | Jameson style low-storage Runge-Kutta |
2 | 6 | 3 | Williamson's low-storage Runge-Kutta |
3 | 2 | 3 | Van Leer-Tai-Powell optimal smoothing method |
4 | 3 | 3 | Van Leer-Tai-Powell optimal smoothing method |
5 | 3 | 3 | Wray's minimal storage Runge-Kutta |
6 | 9 | 4 | Wray's minimal storage Runge-Kutta |
7 | 2 | 2 | Simple two-stage Runge-Kutta |
The number of required coefficients and their default values are:
