Hi,
I'm running some simulations for the external aerodynamics of a streamlined body. I've made a mesh in CFX-Mesh and set the first layer height of the surface prisms by imputting a y+ = 30 and the Reynolds number based on the body length. I ran the simulation with the SST model. Now in CFX-Post I've plotted surface contours of Yplus (as CFX-Post terms it) and the data ranges from about 6 to 72. Is this data even comparing the CFX-Mesh inputted y+ with the target y+ values all over the body? So my questions are: Is this contour plot showing me data that states I need to remesh with a different y+ value? I've looked at various texts about y+ and all they say is the equations with shear stress, skin friction coeffcient etc and not how to realistically put numbers into. Thanks. |
