ExplicitEuler

Time integration using the explicit Euler method.

The explicit Euler method is only first-order accurate in time.

Description

With , the vector of nonlinear variables, and , a nonlinear operator, we write the PDE of interest as:

Using for the current time step, and for the previous step, the explicit Euler method can be written:

This method can be expressed as a Runge-Kutta method with the following Butcher Tableau:

commentnote

The ActuallyExplicitEuler implements the same algorithm but without forming the non linear system, making it faster and use less memory.

warningwarning

All kernels except time-(derivative)-kernels should have the parameter implicit=false to use this time integrator.
