Hello everyone, Thanks in advance for any help or insight you can provide to the issue I'm having..

Attached are 2 photos of a simple, 2D geometry I am attempting to mesh in Gambit. The first shows the geometry, meant to study submerged jet impingement on a surface. (The jet is fashioned as the long, thin segment of the face. It impinges on the surface, which is represented by the right-most vertical edge. The minuscule edge at the exit of the jet and resulting cutout of the face serves to separate the jet from the other fluid. This edge is 0.001 in length, compatible with all mesh intervals used.

As you can see, the two horizontal edges connecting to the impingement surfaces have been split so that I can construct a finer mesh (w/ regards to x dir.) in close proximity to the surface. When I then mesh the edges with the interval sizes I want, and then the face I keep running into the same issue; The face mesh becomes skewed at the wall instead of simply being finer with regards to the x-direction. Please see second image, which is zoomed in at the right-bottom corner of the geometry. The skewing from both ends of the surface edge seems to converge at the y-location synonymous with the jet exit..

Again, I meshed the edges first. Then the face with quad/submap. I have tried telling it to ignore size functions and many other things, but can't seem to figure out exactly what is going on. Thank you so much for any help you can give, this is really slowing me down! I'll be happy to provide any other necessary info.

Thanks,
Dylan
