Saima is an unknown quantity at this point
I am analyzing co-rotating disc with structured mesh.

I have started first with steady solver, turbulent and compressible fuid, but it took almost 18000 iteration. The i started transient with time step: 1e-03 s. It worked and converge quickly and better convergence.

Now, doing Mesh study and refined mesh.Now I have started with transient and time-step: 1e-05. But still it is taking longer time. I have attached some results kindly guide me how to tweak parameters?

I've tried some best practices for updating time step. But didn't worked. Now trying "Time-Step Control Models" but seems like it is also not working. I've made of change model after stopping the solution and add in that run.

Thanks in advance.

Светлана is on a distinguished road
It is normal for finer meshes to need a smaller time step and to take a longer time to solve. You may do a time step convergence - try different time step values and compare your results - or evaluate your CFL (Courant number) to know what is the largest time step after which the solver would become unstable.
