[ICEM] Create Solid part mesh (block) indside Fluid part mesh (block)

CFDger · June 9, 2020, 09:42

Hello,
I want to mesh an object (solid) inside an hypersonic airflow (fluid) in ICEM CFD (2D). I tried several options to generate two separate meshes (one for the solid object) and one for the surrounding air (fluid) which is bounded by the farfield.
I couldn't find an helpful answer to this problem in any forum. I would be very helpful if somebody could help me find the solution for this problem.
Thank you very much.

To add some information:
I am interested in the heat transfer in my solid body and its surface temperature (as they are critical during hypersonic flight conditions).

I am currently trying to create an ICEM file for the fluid mesh and an other ICEM file for the solid mesh. Then I will load them both into the Ansys Fluent solver and assign them their values there.
With this method I believe it can get rather hard to match the grid resolution at the contact areas of the solid and fluid.

I hope somebody has experience with this.

Thanks
