That's a very typical question for to find an answer in any book dealing with transient numerical schemes for CFD.

hi CFD worker

Convergence -Accelerating convergence -Under-relaxation - Increase under relaxation factors

under-relaxation factors slow down the rate at which the solution changes during the iteration and in transient solutions increase the Courant number:

Courant number is the ratio of a time step to a cell residence time

hope this may give some idea about Courant NUmber

all the best anand
