Hi
Dear foamer i have a big promlem, i want to analysis two turbulence models on 3 element airfoil, 1. high Re number e.g realizableKE ==> 30 <y+ <200 2. low Re number e.g lunderSharmaKE ==> y+ <1 i use snappyHexMesh for meshin the domain aroun the airfoil, and after finishing the analysis with realizableKE, i execute "yPlusRAS" and it told me y+ is: Time = 3400 Reading field U Reading/calculating face flux field phi Selecting incompressible transport model Newtonian Selecting RAS turbulence model realizableKE realizableKECoeffs { Cmu 0.09; A0 4; C2 1.9; sigmak 1; sigmaEps 1.2; } Patch 5 named main_solid y+ : min: 3.92116 max: 92.2824 average: 41.5749 Patch 6 named flap_solid y+ : min: 11.3159 max: 75.4566 average: 34.844 Patch 7 named slat_solid y+ : min: 17.4322 max: 61.5812 average: 43.726 and the checkMesh for RealizableKE doeasn't complain of skewness and nonOrthogonality, here it is: Create polyMesh for time = 3400 Time = 3400 Mesh stats points: 188346 internal points: 0 faces: 368558 internal faces: 182800 cells: 91461 faces per cell: 6.02834 boundary patches: 8 point zones: 0 face zones: 0 cell zones: 0 Overall number of cells of each type: hexahedra: 88316 prisms: 584 wedges: 0 pyramids: 0 tet wedges: 0 tetrahedra: 0 polyhedra: 2561 Breakdown of polyhedra by number of faces: faces number of cells 7 1953 8 603 9 3 10 2 Checking topology...

Coupled point location match (average 0) OK. Failed 1 mesh checks. but when i execute refineWallLayer for reaching lower layer thickness near the wall and also lower y+ that was proper for lunderSharmaKE, the checkMesh complain skewness alot. what should i do? how should i yeild the low y+ with snappyhexMesh??? please guide me |

Hey, sorry for digging up this old post, but did you resolved the problem?

In a case like this, I would try the generateBoundaryLayers utility of the cfMesh meshing collection. This tool extrudes a new layer of cells inwards, the mesh is shrunk in order to provide the space for the layer. This is similar to the layer addition stage of snappyHexMesh.
refineWallLayer, on the other hand, simply splits the cells next to the wall. |
