#This is how:
#Define maximal possible speed in open water v_max, e.g. 500m/s (soundspeed?)
#Then work out minimal internal distance in mesh r_min and set
#min_timestep = r_min/v_max
#
#Max speeds are calculated in the flux function as
#
#lambda = v +/- sqrt(gh)
#
# so with 500 m/s, h ~ 500^2/g = 2500 m well out of the domain of the
# shallow water wave equation
#
#The actual soundspeed can be as high as 1530m/s
#(see http://staff.washington.edu/aganse/public.projects/clustering/clustering.html),
#but that would only happen with h>225000m in this equation. Why ?
#The maximal speed we specify is really related to the max speed
#of surface pertubation

#Betas [0;1] control the allowed steepness of gradient for second order
#extrapolations. Values of 1 allow the steepes gradients while
#lower values are more conservative. Values of 0 correspond to
#1'st order extrapolations.
#
# Large values of beta_h may cause simulations to require more timesteps
# as surface will 'hug' closer to the bed.
# Small values of beta_h will make code faster, but one may experience
# artificial momenta caused by discontinuities in water depths in
# the presence of steep slopes. One example of this would be
# stationary water 'lapping' upwards to a higher point on the coast.
