drops below the value of \ct{PRESSURE_TOLERANCE} which is specified on the \ct{PRES} line. Its default value is $20/\dx^2$~s$^{-2}$, where $\dx$ is the characteristic grid cell size.

The lagged pressure term on the right hand side of Eq.~(\ref{sepeq}) is sometimes referred to as the baroclinic torque, and it is responsible for generating vorticity due to the non-alignment of pressure and density gradients. In versions of FDS prior to 6, the inclusion of the baroclinic torque term was found to sometimes cause numerical instabilities. If it is suspected that the term is responsible for numerical problems, it can be removed by setting \ct{BAROCLINIC=F} on the \ct{MISC} line. For example, in the simple helium plume test case below, neglecting the baroclinic torque changes the puffing behavior noticeably. In other applications, however, its effect is less significant. For further discussion of its effect, see Ref.~\cite{Xin:JSS2005}.
