Hi,
I have meshed a wind turbine blade inside semi-cylindrical domain. The attached file contains images that explain the blocking strategy I have used. Could anyone help me improve the quality of the mesh.
Also, my prof suggested another blocking strategy (included in the attachment) for the blocking of the cylinder, but now, I am unable to create a box around the blade (by splitting the block) and I do not know how to proceed.
Any help / hint would be very helpful. Thank you,
