Time schemes

Time schemes define how a property is integrated as a function of time, i.e.

\[ \ddt{\phi} \]

Depending on the choice of scheme, field values at previous time steps are required, represented in the following as \( \old{\phi} \) and \( \oldold{\phi} \) for the old and old-old time levels.

Usage

Time scheme properties are input in the fvSchemes file under the ddtSchemes sub-dictionary using the syntax:

ddtSchemes
{
default none;
ddt(Q) <time scheme>;
}

Options

Available time schemes include

Example

See this example to see the relative performance of the schemes.
