August 21, 2011, 10:52	CFL condition: can a mass balance problem arise if violated?	#1
bzz77 New Member Join Date: Jan 2010 Posts: 28 Rep Power: 16	I'm a newbie to fluid dynamics. I'm trying to figure out the source of some strange results in code that I wrote for tracking concentrations during advection/diffusion. If there is a problem with the time step I use (i.e., if the time step violates the CFL condition), could that lead to mass balance problems?
