 Ratio of the eddy diffusivities for momentum and heat (K,,m,,/K,,h,,).\\\\
 For runs with constant eddy diffusivity (see [#km_constant km_constant]), this parameter can be used to assign the Prandtl number (ratio K,,m,, / K,,h,,).

+If **use_fixed_date** = .TRUE., the date does not change during a simulation. When PALM reaches 24:00:00 UTC, the time is set to 00:00:00 UTC without the date being changed. This affects, e.g., the solar position during a simulation.\\\\
+Example:\\
+If [#origin_date_time origin_date_time] = '2020-07-15 20:00:00 +00', then after 5h simulation time, PALM's clock would be at '2020-07-15 01:00:00 +00'.

+If **use_fixed_time** = .TRUE., the time does not change during a simulation, i.e. PALM's clock would always show the value given by [#origin_date_time origin_date_time]. This results in the sun being fixed at a single position during the simulation.

 Note, that PALM always uses UTC internally. If you specify a time zone different from UTC, the time is converted internally to UTC. Output will always use UTC.

+See [#use_fixed_date use_fixed_date] and [#use_fixed_time use_fixed_time] for further time-related options.
