Hi @ all,

i have the following questions:

what is the maximal acceptable courant number for an instationary simulation of natural convection in a fluid region? what kind of literature would you suggest? i have a hard time finding literature that acknowledge this matter properly.

are there any ways to decrease the courant number besides decreasing the time step? because i have to simulate over a pretty long time span and a small time step would be a big nuisance

the maximum courant number in my actual simulation is over 110, the time step is 1 sec, the inner iterations are set to 20 and i am pretty sure the courant number is a way too high, the residuals look pretty good i think

thanks for you help pics are attached

can no one give me some advice?
please?
