-Thorn Time sets the timestep for an evolution. Currently it
-uses a simple Courant condition with speed one. That is
+Thorn Time sets the timestep for the simulation by either
+
+ - setting the timestep directly from a parameter value
+
+ - using a Courant-type condition to set the timestep based
+ on the grid-spacing used.
+
+The Courant condition can be applied either once at the start of the
+simulation, or the timestep can be calculated dynamically before each timestep.
