Hi Jaswinder!

I don't use blockMesh, and I am aware that a moving mesh with smaller cells leads to smaller timesteps and larger Courant numbers.....

The problem is that I define maxCo in controlDict and the solver doesn't even come close to that value. It doesn't diverge either, the adjustable timestep just becomes very very small and the maxCo far below the desired value in controlDict.

Very strange, anyone any ideas?

Frank
