Grid around 2D airfoil within Circular Domain

Hi everyone,
I am trying to mesh around a 2D airfoil using the extrusion command within a circle (as seen in the first image). I dont succeed in doing this since the created "circular" mesh fall outside the circle specified. Anyone know how I can specify the circle as boundary and mesh around the foil (with a varying step size thus since the distance to the circle is not the same everywhere in the domain, as seen in the second image). Any ideas? Thanks in advance |

The question I have is does it really need to be circular? For an external flow problem like I an airfoil, I would argue no. Put your time to better use. If you're really insistent, then create the circular boundary, assemble the O-grid and use the elliptic solver to attempt to a similar quality mesh. -Chris |

Thanks for your reply. I received help from the Pointwise support desk which resulted in the mesh I wanted (which indeed needed a circular mesh for rotation and translation purposes within a larger domain).

Thanks for your reply. I received help from the Pointwise support desk which resulted in the mesh I wanted using a different approach (which indeed needed a circular mesh for rotation and translation purposes within a larger domain).
