Hello,
in the reactingParcelFilmFoam are two fluid regions: the WallFilm and the FlowField.
Is there a possibility to change this in the controlDict

Code:
...
adjustTimeStep  yes;

maxCo           1;

maxDeltaT       0.002;
...
so, that the maxCo is only based on the WallFilm and not the Flowfield?

They are calculated seperatly and written into the log-file. So the values exist already..

Because of the implicit PIMPLE, it wouldn't be a problem if Co >1 in the Flowfield. For the WallFilm-Region Co<1 is important.

If I could change this, it would speed up the Simulation quiet a lot...

thanks for your help!
