September 7, 2013, 09:57	determining time step size in transient analysis	#1
aaditya27993 New Member aaditya chandrasekhar Join Date: Sep 2013 Posts: 1 Rep Power: 0	i would like to perform a melting phenomena that takes hours using transient analysis in fluent. i am confused by what i must set as the time step size and no of steps. to define , i need to solve so that i get a result every 10 mins and that must go on for 3 hours. i find that its all in seconds and am not sure about how the cfl no may be affected. i am very much new to this area. in fact i am only in my sophomore year in engineering. please explain me! thanks a lot!!
