documentation possibly out-of-sync
Closed this issue · 1 comments

In $MESA_DIR/star/defaults/controls.default
there is the following description for max_mdot_jump_for_rotation
. The note suggests to couple this with vcrit_max_years_for_timestep
, which however does not appear elsewhere in the docs, nor in $MESA_DIR/star/private/*.f90`.
This is a control useful for any stellar model approaching critical rotation, and it seems to have an effect regardless of vcrit_max_years_for_timestep
. I suspect this is just a case of documentation getting out of sync with the code, but I would not be sure how to fix it.
! max_mdot_jump_for_rotation
! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
! Don't increase prev mdot by more that this.
! NOTE: use ``vcrit_max_years_for_timestep`` with this.
! ::
max_mdot_jump_for_rotation = 2

You are quite right! In fact, it turns out that vcrit_max_years_for_timestep
was deleted fully 10 years ago in November 2013, svn revision 5582. I'll delete that note. Thanks!
