Hello
I have to study grid independency for my problem in Fluent. I have done meshing in ICEM CFD. Now how should I change the number of cells in ICEM CFD to get the grid independency effects. Thanks Sent from my C2004 using CFD Online Forum mobile app |

Blocking -> Pre-Mesh Params -> Refinement Choose all blocks and increase the refinement level. Then recompute the pre-mesh. I believe that number of nodes will double on for each level. |

With refinement of all blocks, number of nodes get increase to approx 4 times. what I want to increase by 1.5 times. Shall I choose important blocks only?

Na is number of nodes on edge A e.t.c. So if Na = Nc = 100 Nb = Nd = 100 The total number of nodes within the block is 100*100 = 10.000. If we double the nodes per edge we have nodes of 200*200 = 40.000 in the block. So it depends on your blocking how much the number of nodes increase. If you want to increase the number of nodes by only 1.5 you would have to change it manually. I would recommend using a replay file try multiplying the node number by ~1.225 to begin with... |
