I am going through the user guide https://doc.cfd.direct/openfoam/user-guide-v10/cavity, an i am on the section on the lid driven cavity for having high reynolds number, i have followed the guide (i didnt change any settings since it was all preset, only thing i did was change the file name 0.orig to 0) and when i start the pisofoam, the courant number changes from 0.26something at 2.5secs to 1 at 2.505 secs where it stayed at 1 the entire time. when i tried to change the timestep from 0.005 to 0.004 all it did was instead of it staying at 1, it stayed at 0.8.

link to the log file for when courant number stays at 1.

mesh size is (20,20,1), maximum velocity is 1m/s, distance is 0.1m, the timestep of 0.005 secs should work.
