The first action within the major loop is the determination of the time
increment in subroutine compdt. The formulas for doing so are Formulas (700)
and (702) for liquids and gases, respectively. Notice that the
solution influences the time increment, so the increment has to be
recalculated at the start of the major loop. For steady state calculations the
time step is only recalculated in iterations ,
, since the
change in solution decreases the closer steady state. This accelerates the
steady state calculations.
