Description
The initial time step size is provided through TOUGH2 variable DELTEN or
DLT(1), usually followed by automatic time stepping (see TOUGH2 variables
MOP(16) and REDLT). The initial time step may be too big (i.e., is
automatically reduced by TOUGH2) or too small (i.e., convergence is achieved
within one Newton-Raphson iteration), depending on the parameter set supplied
by iTOUGH2 during an inversion. This command allows iTOUGH2 to automatically
adjust the initial time step size so that convergence is achieved within more
than 1 but less than MOP(16) Newton-Raphson iterations.
Automatic time step adjustment may improve the speed of an inversion, but may
also make the inversion unstable if time discretization errors are significant.
