A new input option, called ``ATS_PERCEL'', specifies the fractional cell distance that a particle of water can travel within one time step.  When ``ATS_PERCEL'' is specified by the user, and the ATS utility is activated in the TDIS Package, the ADV Package will calculate the largest time step that will meet this fractional cell distance constraint, and will submit this time step to the ATS utility.  This option may improve time stepping for solute transport models and for variable-density flow and transport models by allowing step lengths to be calculated as a function of the flow system rather than being specified as input by the user."
