cfl

CFL configuration. A bare number is shorthand for the working CFL: cfl: 2.0 means cfl: {cfl: 2.0}.

Working CFL for the turbulence transport equations (the conserved-variable slots beyond the 5 mean-flow equations — SA: 1, SST: 2). The solver uses it directly as the pseudo-time CFL for those equations, not as a cap. Has no effect when no turbulence model is active (euler, laminar viscous, non-hybrid LES).
