Enumeration Type Documentation

runge_kutta_method

enum TimeStepping::runge_kutta_method

The following Runge-Kutta methods are available:

• Explicit methods (see ExplicitRungeKutta::initialize):
  • FORWARD_EULER (first order)
  • RK_THIRD_ORDER (third order Runge-Kutta)
  • SSP_THIRD_ORDER (third order SSP Runge-Kutta)
  • RK_CLASSIC_FOURTH_ORDER (classical fourth order Runge-Kutta)
• Low-storage (explicit) Runge-Kutta methods
  • LOW_STORAGE_RK_STAGE3_ORDER3 (Three stages and third order)
  • LOW_STORAGE_RK_STAGE5_ORDER4 (Five stages and fourth order)
  • LOW_STORAGE_RK_STAGE7_ORDER4 (Seven stages and fourth order)
  • LOW_STORAGE_RK_STAGE9_ORDER5 (Nine stages and fifth order)
• Implicit methods (see ImplicitRungeKutta::initialize):
  • BACKWARD_EULER (first order)
  • IMPLICIT_MIDPOINT (second order)
  • CRANK_NICOLSON (second order)
  • SDIRK_TWO_STAGES (second order)
• Embedded explicit methods (see EmbeddedExplicitRungeKutta::initialize):
  • HEUN_EULER (second order)
  • BOGACKI_SHAMPINE (third order)
  • DOPRI (Dormand-Prince method, fifth order; this is the method used by ode45 in MATLAB)
  • FEHLBERG (fifth order)
  • CASH_KARP (fifth order)

Enumerator
FORWARD_EULER	Forward Euler method, first order.
RK_THIRD_ORDER	Third order Runge-Kutta method.
SSP_THIRD_ORDER	Third order Strong Stability Preserving (SSP) Runge-Kutta method (SSP time discretizations are also called Total Variation Diminishing (TVD) methods in the literature, see [86]).
RK_CLASSIC_FOURTH_ORDER	Classical fourth order Runge-Kutta method.
LOW_STORAGE_RK_STAGE3_ORDER3	Three-stage scheme of order three by Kennedy et al. [110]. Its stability region is significantly smaller than the higher order schemes, but due to three stages only, it is very competitive in terms of the work per stage.
LOW_STORAGE_RK_STAGE5_ORDER4	Five-stage scheme of order four, defined in the paper by Kennedy et al. [110].
LOW_STORAGE_RK_STAGE7_ORDER4	Seven-stage scheme of order four defined in the paper by Tselios and Simos [170].
LOW_STORAGE_RK_STAGE9_ORDER5	Nine-stage scheme of order five defined in the paper by Kennedy et al. [110].
BACKWARD_EULER	Backward Euler method, first order.
IMPLICIT_MIDPOINT	Implicit midpoint method, second order.
CRANK_NICOLSON	Crank-Nicolson method, second order.
SDIRK_TWO_STAGES	Two stage SDIRK method (short for "singly diagonally implicit Runge-Kutta"), second order.
HEUN_EULER	Heun's method (improved Euler's method), second order.
BOGACKI_SHAMPINE	Bogacki–Shampine method, third-order.
DOPRI	Dormand-Prince method, fifth order; this is the method used by ode45 in MATLAB.
FEHLBERG	Fehlberg method, fifth order.
CASH_KARP	Cash–Karp method, fifth order.
invalid	Invalid.

embedded_runge_kutta_time_step

enum TimeStepping::embedded_runge_kutta_time_step

Reason for exiting evolve_one_time_step when using an embedded method: DELTA_T, MIN_DELTA_T, MAX_DELTA_T.

Enumerator
DELTA_T	The time step is in the valid range.
MIN_DELTA_T	The time step was increased to the minimum acceptable time step.
MAX_DELTA_T	The time step was reduced to the maximum acceptable time step.
