[FLASH-USERS] using viscosity in FLASH unsplit hydro

Hi unsplit experts,
I have implemented a prescription for viscosity appropriate for disk (an
alpha-like prescription) in FLASH 4 and using the unsplit hydro solver.
However, it does not appear to calculate the appropriate courant time
for the viscous terms.
The way the Config file is implemented is
REQUIRES physics/Hydro/HydroMain
REQUIRES physics/Gravity/GravityMain/Poisson/Multipole
REQUIRES physics/materialProperties/Viscosity/ViscosityMain/MyVisc
Do I also require something along the lines of
REQUIRES physics/Diffuse/DiffuseMain
to include the Diffuse_computeDt.F90 file to compute the proper viscous
timescale or is this somehow done in Hydro_computeDt.F90 in the unsplit
solver? This part is confusing for me because it appears that viscosity
is dealt with in an entirely different manner in the unsplit hydro
solver compared to the split hydro solver.
Thanks.
Cheers,
Phil
