hi dear fomers, i am working on multi element arifoils, i make the mesh using snappyHexMesh, then for using this mesh with simpleFoam i run "extrudeMesh"
my problem is the cprner of slat that is good till extrudeMesh didn't run.
i put the pictures before and after the extrudeMesh.
any body could help me?
thanks to all

Dear saide

look at this post
i think if you add several layers around your airfoil, problem will be solved
on given post there are is a test case which may help you

Hi Dear Nima,
i did what you said me, but i didn't get good results
i attach some pictures of the corners of the elements

dear saide

1) whats wrong?
2) why just two layers?

Hi Saideh
this error occurred when I run blockMesh on your snappyHexMesh file:

Create time



--> FOAM FATAL IO ERROR:

dear Nima
be more patient please!
yes its related.
Saideh wanted me help her but I wasn't familiar with snappyHexMesh and the files she gave me displayed an error on blockMesh that I wrote and noticed her to her thread.

[nimasam]

I think its better to help her than trying to answer me.as I know your posts were irrelevant dear Nima.you didn't know whats the matter and unfortunately now persist on your mistake.its nice that people accept their mistakes than keep them!
anyway,please have a look into the error if you can so that I can help her by her case.

hi dear nima,
i think what's wrong are those cells that are in the corner of the slat. is it a good mesh for there?

well answer is there: (read error carefully )

Cannot open include file  "/home/ehsan/Desktop/airfoil_snappyHexMesh/system/forceCoeffs" while  reading dictionary  "/home/ehsan/Desktop/airfoil_snappyHexMesh/system/controlDict.functions"

you can comment those forceDict from controlDict, it can not find it in your system folder

why not but i suggest to increase it to forexample 5 layers and post results here , i guess it will improve

Hi Dear ehsan,
yes i forget to put the include function that i had been written in the controlDict of airfoil_snappyHexMesh folder. sorry.
here you are, these are the complete folders in the attachment.
thank you very much

Dear Nima,
i don't think so, but I’ll run the snappy with 5 layers now.

Dear ehsan, thank you very much for your kind attention.
i put in the attachment the airfoil_snappyHexMesh_modified2 , please open the allrun in this folder, i write in it that you just should run blockMesh and after that snappyHexMesh in two steps as you see in the allrun.txt.

Dear Nima,
these pictures are the results of runningSHM with five layers..

[nimasam]

dear saide
check which side of 3D body, are you going to extrude?
are both sides (front and back) are the same?

[immortality]

you're welcome.Saideh it executes fine till extrudeMesh
I don't know why it doesn't open.I use OF 2.2.0

Create time

Create mesh for time = 0

Great! Dear ehsan as i write in the Allrun.txt
after finishing the 2th step of snappHexMesh you should go two the airfoil_simpleFoam_modified that i attach for you, in this folder you should execute "extrudeMesh", after fininshing extrudeMesh, i create polyMesh in the constant folder of airfoil_simpleFoam_modified.
p-s: before running the extrudeMesh in terminal,please copy the name of aifoil_snappyHexMesh_modified2 folder, and past it in front of (sourceCase "../(here)") in extrudeMeshDict. after that, execute extrudeMesh.by executing the extrudeMesh, it extrude the mesh that the name of it's folder have been written in front of sourceCase in extrudeMeshDict
tahnk you very much again
