Hi all, I am a bit confused about the CFL options in SU2 when running an unsteady sim.

1. Is there a difference between using UNST_CFL_NUMBER and CFL_NUMBER?

2. If I use pseudo time steps and specify TIME_STEP, is specifying CFL_NUMBER used for the pseudo time steps? When I view the CFL contour in Paraview, it shows me it is equal to the number I specified everywhere in the domain. So I don't quite understand if it is showing me the CFL for pseudo time steps or for physical time.

Thanks
