What is the timesteps definition in steady state CFD simulations? And which is the rapport with the iterations
thanks
In AcuSolve the steady-state solve is first-order in time, so we are not attempting to achieve a time-accurate solution. We just want to get the final steady-state solution, without any concern of the path to get there. Thus we use a very large (non-physical) time step size. Within each time step we take many linear equation solver iterations before moving to the next time step and updating the 'initial guess' for that time step.
