Hello again.

Thinking about the maxCo entry in controlDict I'm asking myself what this entry is good for if I'm using Euler implicit discretisation for the temporal derivative, which should be unconditionally stable for ALL timesteps.

What is maxCo limiting in this case?
The velocity field?

Greetings.
