[ICEM] Meshing Ring with fluid inside

Davide95 · December 13, 2017, 10:01

Hi everyone
I am really new in CFD and trying to figure out how to mesh using Icem.
Was wondering if anyone could give a suggestion regarding the mesh of the geometry I attached. Basically it's a ring full of fluid that will rotate.
My idea was to create 12 blocks and assign them to the curves so that they could follow the geometry and then Ogrid the blocks but I am somehow messing up.
Does anyone know a cool way of doing it in order to get a nice mesh quality?
I attached the geometry and my first try before O-gridding.
Thanks in advance! Consider I am really a newbie in the field.

1 - A square block.
2 - An Ogrid inside
3 - Delete the most inner block
4 - Associate the O grid to the geometry
5 - Another O grid inside the first O grid
