[petsc-users] Control adaptive time step

[Zhang, Hong]

You can control the factors with

-ts_adapt_clip <low>,<high>- to set admissible time step decrease and increase factors

The default setting uses low=0.1, high=10.

Hi,
Is there a simple way to control the first few adaptive time step? Currently, I am using the following options but dt grows too fast initially. The first few time steps increase dt by a factor of 10 in each time step. Is there a way to do a slow start, say, a factor of 2 instead of 10? Thanks.

-ts_type arkimex
-ts_arkimex_type 2e
-ts_arkimex_fully_implicit
-ts_adapt_dt_min 1.0e-5
-ts_adapt_dt_max 1.0e-2
-ts_adapt_type basic
