The deltaTFactor used in the automatic time-step adjustment to smoothly increase the time-step when permitted can now be specified in the system/controlDict but defaults to 1.2 as used previously. For example in the tutorials/incompressibleVoF/damBreak/damBreak case the rate at which the time-step is increased after the slamming event can be reduced to 10% per time-step by setting . . . maxDeltaT 1; deltaTFactor 1.1; Alternatively the case can be set to continue with the smallest time-step without further adjustment by setting deltaTFactor to 1.
