Consider an axisymmetric pipe flow simulation. The pipe is 40 m long in axial direction and its radius is 0.2 m. The structured mesh is used in the computational domain and it is uniformly spaced by 1000 cells in axial direction and 20 cells in radial direction. The simulation is conducted in transient and the time step size was set to 0.001 second. After running the simulation for a long time, the flow has reached a fully developed condition. The maximum axial velocity along the axis is found to be 15 m/s. The fluid is a liquid water where its density is 1000 kg/m3 and its dynamic viscosity is 0.001 kg/m-s. What is the maximum Courant number in the domain? DO NOT USE scientific notation (5 * 10^-6) or E-notation (or engineering notation, e.g. 5E-6).
