globalTime - the total simulation time elapsed. Since each solver has an independent localTime, the globalTime is used to universally sort them.
localTime - the simulation time seen by a single solver within a single superLoop. localTime is independent between solvers and between superLoops.
multiControlDict - the multiSolver analogue of controlDict. This (mandatory) dictionary does not conform to the standard multiDict format as there are many additional settings for the multiSolver itself.
multiDict - a dictionary format specific to multiSolver that allows it to generate a different dictionary for each solverDomain.
solverDomain - one of the solvers employed by multiSolver.
solverDomainName - the name assigned to a solverDomain.
superLoop - one full cycle through all solvers.
superLoopIndex - the number of full cycles through all the solvers that have been achieved.
superSolver - an application that employs two or more solvers within a superLoop.
