Transport

Back to parameter list

This parameter can be set either to 'FARGO' or to 'STANDARD' to define which kind of azimuthal advection algorithm has to be used. In the 'STANDARD' case, the azimuthal advection is performed in a standard way, and the CFL criterion includes the full azimuthal velocity. In the 'FARGO' case, the FARGO algorithm described in Masset (2000) is applied, which relieves the CFL condition and allows a much larger time step and a faster calculation. The Transport parameter defaults to 'FARGO'. It can be set to 'STANDARD' for comparison and benchmarking purposes.
