Hello,

I'd like to know what your oppinion is on this matter, entirely subjective of course. =)

I realise that all problems are unique, but I'm sure you have an oppinion what kind of structure you prefere in general.

So what are the major drawbacks/benefits of the two?

Cheers!

IMO structured gives better results in boundary layers, basically everywhere you need to get good gradients. Unstructured for complex geometries and far away from the walls. I nowadays use mixed meshes only, and would suggest that to anybody if the solver can handle those.
