Hi Foamers!

I got and issue using OpenFOAM v2.x:

Courant Number jumps 4 times if compare to OpenFOAM v1.6 and 1.7.x.
I tried cases for different geometries ofcouse with the same setting between OF versions and result is always the same!
Actually this issue results in a calculation time increasing 4 times. Unappropriated!

Please, comment on that issue, what is your experience with v2.x usage?

Cheer,
Alex
