Jérôme Guest Posts: n/a	Hei, I'm a student, and I'm working on a cfd project. The software computes hydraulics and sediment distribution in a flume. The scheme used is implicit. I'd like to know the way to investigate the stability, especialy concerning the time step. I know the cfl number (courant number), but I don't know really how to use it (good range ...), and if I can apply it to sediment computation. I you have some information or advice, don't hesitate. The software is SSIIM 3D (from NTNU, Norway)
