Multi-stage time integrators only check convergence of last stage #11719
Labels
C: Framework
P: normal
A defect affecting operation with a low possibility of significantly affects.
T: task
An enhancement to the software.
Rationale
Convergence of the last stage of a multi-stage time integrator does not imply convergence of the previous stages. Error due to a non-convergent previous stage is inherited by later stages.
Description
Multi-stage time integrators are only requiring nonlinear convergence of the last stage. The rest of the stages are allowed to reach the maximum number of nonlinear iterations without convergence.
Impact
Fixing this would make convergence criteria for multi-stage time integration more strict but more accurate/correct.
