AdamsPredictor

Implements an explicit Adams predictor based on two old solution vectors.

An Adams predictor is automatically added by MOOSE for the AB2PredictorCorrector time stepping/integration scheme.

The formula for the update by Adams' predictor is:

var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-3b97bf90-fcf8-47b1-96ee-0112a6aa8682");katex.render("\\phi_{new} = A \\phi + B \\phi_{old} + C \\phi_{older}", element, {displayMode:true,throwOnError:false});

with \phi being the solution vector, including all degrees of freedom for the nonlinear variables and

var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-6fca4db0-3894-4397-aa11-bef2744566d1");katex.render("A = 1 + \\dfrac{\\Delta t}{\\Delta t_{old}} (1 + \\dfrac{\\Delta t}{2\\Delta t_{old}})", element, {displayMode:true,throwOnError:false});

var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-44d72c96-d581-4f32-9fe7-75f44392fad5");katex.render("B = - \\dfrac{\\Delta t}{\\Delta t_{old}} (1 + \\dfrac{\\Delta t}{2\\Delta t_{old}} + \\dfrac{\\Delta t}{2\\Delta t_{older}})", element, {displayMode:true,throwOnError:false});

var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-b4a4216e-da5c-44ab-a4ae-b26674068e59");katex.render("C = \\dfrac{\\Delta t}{\\Delta t_{old}} \\dfrac{\\Delta t}{2\\Delta t_{older}}", element, {displayMode:true,throwOnError:false});

with $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-53b29204-da72-4aaf-b7b5-1d4068697889");katex.render("\\Delta t", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ , $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-df063386-bdd3-47b1-87d4-acc4e84263a5");katex.render("\\Delta t_{old}", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ and $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-98115226-9836-4b94-a330-3f8c4d60d6b0");katex.render("\\Delta t_{older}", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ being the current, previous and antepenultimate time steps sizes.

Example input syntax

In this example, an AdamsPredictor is implicitly being created by specifying the AB2PredictorCorrector time stepping scheme. The predictor is being used on every time step to perform a first update step.
