Detailed Description

This class wraps another UnsteadySolver derived class, and compares the results of timestepping with deltat and timestepping with 2*deltat to adjust future timestep lengths.

Currently this class only works on fully coupled Systems

This class is part of the new DifferentiableSystem framework, which is still experimental. Users of this framework should beware of bugs and future API changes.

Member Function Documentation

This method advances the adjoint solution to the previous timestep, after an adjoint_solve() has been performed. This will be done before every UnsteadySolver::adjoint_solve().

This method advances the solution to the next timestep, after a solve() has been performed. Often this will be done after every UnsteadySolver::solve(), but adaptive mesh refinement and/or adaptive time step selection may require some solve() steps to be repeated.

Note that, while you can always call this function, its result may or may not be very meaningful. For example, if you call this function right after calling advance_timestep() then you'll get a result of zero since old_nonlinear_solution is set equal to nonlinear_solution in this function.

This flag, which is true by default, grows (shrinks) the timestep based on the expected global accuracy of the timestepping scheme. Global in this sense means the cumulative final-time accuracy of the scheme. For example, the backward Euler scheme's truncation error is locally of order 2, so that after N timesteps of size deltat, the result is first-order accurate. If you set this to false, you can grow (shrink) your timestep based on the local accuracy rather than the global accuracy of the core TimeSolver. Note that by setting this value to false you may fail to achieve the predicted convergence in time of the underlying method, however it may be possible to get more fine-grained control over step sizes as well.

This value (which defaults to zero) is the number of times the TimeSolver is allowed to halve deltat and let the DiffSolver repeat the latest failed solve with a reduced timestep. Note that this has no effect for SteadySolvers. Note that you must set at least one of the DiffSolver flags "continue_after_max_iterations" or "continue_after_backtrack_failure" to allow the TimeSolver to retry the solve.

This tolerance is the target relative error between an exact time integration and a single time step output, scaled by deltat. integrator, scaled by deltat. If the estimated error exceeds or undershoots the target error tolerance, future timesteps will be run with deltat shrunk or grown to compensate.

The default value is 1.0e-2; obviously users should select their own tolerance.

If a *negative* target_tolerance is specified, then its absolute value is used to scale the estimated error from the first simulation time step, and this becomes the target tolerance of all future time steps.

This tolerance is the maximum relative error between an exact time integration and a single time step output, scaled by deltat. If this error tolerance is exceeded by the estimated error of the current time step, that time step will be repeated with a smaller deltat.

If you use the default upper_tolerance=0.0, then the current time step will not be repeated regardless of estimated error.

If a *negative* upper_tolerance is specified, then its absolute value is used to scale the estimated error from the first simulation time step, and this becomes the upper tolerance of all future time steps.
