Refining Mesh at Specific Region

October 16, 2004, 13:54

Hi There!

I'm quite new to ICEM,being a Gambit/Fluent user. My question is:

How do I refine the mesh in a certain region of my flow domain? For example, if I have a flow past a bluff body and I want to capture the vortices past (downstream) the bluff body accurately, how do I do this?

In Gambit, I can simply "split" the volume and mesh that portion of interest separately. Can this be done in ICEM? Please advise, O' Wise Ones! Cheers!

Harmeet.

Hi,

Yes it can be done, use the mesh density gizmo.
