Hi John, increasing iterations per timestep will only help the solution converge better, if it isn't converging in the specified number of iterations already. As for decreasing and increasing timesteps, you also need to factor in the CFL number before doing so. CFL~1 is ideal so based on this, you can change your timestep size.Â
