Dear All

What is the acceptable courant number in simulation for VOF?
if it increases but still there is convergance should I decrease the time step?

the requirement is 0.25 for courunt number

you should have it below that value for a good solution.

thanks for reply,
so far the criteria i was familiar with, were grid independence study and time step independence study,
is courant number just representative of them or anything else,
thanks again

it is a fuction of cell size and time step only
it works fine only in unsteady state

regards
