specified too small, poor mass conservation will result and if it is set too high, spurious modes
will result. Finally, it is recommended that whenever oscillations appear, the double precision
version of the code be compiled and run and the iterative solver parameters CONVCR and
ITMAX be set sufficiently high (for 64 bit calculations CONVCR should be at least 10-8 and
ITMAX should be at least 25).
