January 8, 2013, 21:52	Effect of Courant number	#1
David Christopher New Member Dave Christopher Join Date: Dec 2009 Posts: 26 Rep Power: 17	I am using the density solver to model the blowdown of a high pressure tank. The results change dramatically (the pressure in the tank versus time) if I change the Courant number limit in the Solver window. I have monitored the time step (Monitor, Statistics window) and it does not change. I do not understand how the Courant number affects the results if the time step is not changing. Does anyone know how the Courant number works?
