Additional arguments

A table passed to the radiative boundary condition may contain the following additional arguments:
key variable type description default value
LIMIT CCTK_REAL $f_0$ 0.0
PREVIOUS_TIME_LEVEL CCTK_INT or CCTK_STRING GV which holds the Cactus previous time level
    previous time level  
SPEED CCTK_REAL wave speed $v$ 1.0
BOUNDARY_WIDTH CCTK_INT array stencil width for each face n/a

The default behavior is to use the Cactus previous time level, as defined in the interface.ccl file, for the grid variable requested for the radiative boundary condition. The ``PREVIOUS_TIME_LEVEL'' key is provided for backward compatibility only, and will be deprecated in the future. The corresponding value may be either a CCTK_INT, which will be interpreted as the index of a grid variable holding the previous time level, or a CCTK_STRING, interpreted as holding the name. Note that this will not work when selecting an entire variable group (with more than one member) with one call to Boundary_SelectGroupForBC*, as each member will have a separate previous time level, and thus require a separate table. Please make your life easier by using Cactus time levels...
