Hello, I'm using Ansys Fluent 2021 R1 student versionnMy target simulation is steady flow with transonic flow on airfoil, so I used density based coupled solver.nAfter checked every input on calculation, in the Run calculation tab, I found that I can modulate CFL number on solution steering tab. (stage 1 and stage 2)nMy question is can I linearly increase CFL number in some iteration interval?nfor example, from 10 to 100 iteration, increasing linearly with initial CFL number to maximum CFL number.nThere is update interval tab, but I think this is not appropriate function for change CFL number linearly.nnThank you.n

If you are talking about steady state solution steering I guess no. n

Yes it is possible using UDFnAll variables you set in the GUI could be changed from your UDF through RP_Set_Real ... and define_adjust is recalled every iteration ... So, if you are able to know the variable name, you will be able to modify it every iterationn

You can trigger solution steering based on iteration, but that will be step changes over a gradual increase. n

Thank you for comments!!n

[DrAmine]

that is wrong. If steady-state density based + solution steering the only way via scripting deploying some scheme functions (if this high level is required).n

if you don't know how to do it, ask.n
