In the v7 GUI, there is a setting for "Algorithm to take into account the density variation in time" with options for "automatic", "Boussinesq...", "dilatiable steady...", and "dilatable unsteady..."

What is "automatic" in this case?

The v7 doxygen documentation gives the default as "dilatable steady". The GUI as written suggests that the automatic is perhaps something else?

Hello,

Checking the code (both reader and initialization), it seems the default matches "idilat = 1", which is the "dilatable_steady" (and so the documentation seems correct).

If in doubt, you can check the value of idilat in the setup.log or run_solver.log file.

Best regards,
