dampingTimeScale

Return the inverse maximum unit-speed damping coefficient.

---

Declaration

 dampingTimeScale = dampingTimeScale()

Returns

• dampingTimeScale inverse maximum absolute entry of damp, in meters

Discussion

Despite the historical method name, this value has units of meters because damp has units of inverse meters. For a nonzero flow, divide this value by wvt.uvMax to obtain the shortest instantaneous e-folding time in seconds.
