Hi Andrew, My understanding is if you only specify <I PROPERTY="TimeIntegrationMethod" VALUE="DIRK" />, then the default order will be "1". A DIRK time-integration scheme of order 1 reduces to backward Euler. However, a DIRK time-integration scheme of order 1 is not currently defined in the code base (you have to use BackwardEuler). When use simply use "DIRK", have you checked the solution is being updated?

Hello everyone, I'm trying to use the DIRK Time Integration methods in the CompressibleFlowSolver but keep getting an error when trying to specify the order and variant. If I specify only <I PROPERTY="TimeIntegrationMethod" VALUE="DIRK" /> in SolverInfo it will work perfectly, however I am unsure which order this is using. When I try to define VALUE="DIRKOrder3" or in a separate TIMEINTEGRATIONSCHEME section as below instead, it will produce the error bad_function_call. <TIMEINTEGRATIONSCHEME> <METHOD> DIRK </METHOD> <ORDER> 3 </ORDER> </TIMEINTEGRATIONSCHEME> Could anyone clarify: 1. Which order is used for the default "DIRK" model? 2. What would be the correct way to specify the order of DIRK model? Thank you in advance, Andrew
