Hi everyone..

Could someone please help me on meshing a 2Dairfoil in gambit...ive attached a boundary layer and used sizing functions at the trailing edge vertex and airfoil edges but i always keep having highly skewed meshes at the tip..even though i decrease the min size..i have tried everything kinda..is there something im missing??? i would really appreciate any kind of help and advise on hw to improve the mesh overall....

split your domain for having more control of your mesh.
For istance you can create an ellipse which surrounds your airfoil.
Split your domain with your ellipse. Be sure the ellipse has an hollow (your airfoil)
Now you can mesh your ellipse surface .

Hi MAx

I have tried your suggestions but doesnt seem to work really...I have actually seeded each surface of my airfoil with up to 1000 seeds to be able to have a fine mesh near the region including a sizing function but still ending up with skewed meshes at the trailing edge...

thank you

your box is to close from airfoil
Use an ellipse instead of the box
