cfd4res is on a distinguished road
Hello everyone. I tried to find a solution all day. Hope you guys could give me a solution. I am using OpenFOAM 5.

I used extrudeMesh to mesh a long circular pipe with many bends. After that I want to change the cross section of the pipe so that it changes gradually from circular to square as shown in the image attached.

Using expansion ratio in the extrudeMeshDict file changes only the diameter of the cross section gradually. Is there a way to change the shape of the cross section too?

or can anyone please tell me an another way to generate this mesh for the pipe?
