Curve is Lines!! , visual Or real?
2 Attachment(s)
Hi experts ,
I have simple question My geometry contains blade where the leading edge of the blade is a CURVE but Fluent shows it as group of lines (figure 1) Is this just visual problem or real problem and hence effect on results.. I should noted that my geometry was built SolidWorks and i'm sure that it was curve not lines thanks in advance |
It simply shows that your mesh is coarse in that region. Or may be you be have zoomed too much :o

Thanks far for replay

I can upload my Case file if you need |
here is the case file http://www.4shared.com/file/DseLJUYW/Case.html
I wonder that the circle (at the hub) also appera as a group of lines while the enclosure's curves domain (which contains the blade) is typical curves in general |
Any recommendation?

It is the problem of meshing.
If it was not the meshing problem, then it could be due to geometry |

I choose from fluent Mesh Display menu to display the edges not the faces , is this mean it display the mesh (where is the mesh it is just an edge) !! see Figures pls |
I have check your mesh file, you have attached in above post.

I am saying that if you have faulty (degenerated) geometry like sharp leading edge instead of curved one then even fine mesh cannot do anything. For example by packing more mesh points in sharp leading edge you cannot make it round. Got it!!!
So if you have perfect geometry (you need to confirm it) then it is the problem of mesh. |
Thanks Far , this is Last inquiry
you confirmed that it is not a VISUAL (screen) trick , it is REAL? |
It is real

did not get the case file.
in general using ICEM using mesh quality, select the surface deviation (surface dev) to essentially show you the deviation/error in the elements face center to the actual surface of the geometry. you can color the mesh with mesh quality (it is a little flaky so you may need to set it, unset it and set it back again). if your surface is not split so the nose can be in a separate part, then you need to reduce the max deviation in the Part Mesh Setup for the blade surface. Or use the geometry line and surface tools to split the surface in ICEM along a ISO line if you can create a reasonable line. depending on what you want to look at I would recommend using a hexa for your wind turbine blade. |
