Dear group,

I try to model Cemical vapour deposition with a moving substrate plate. I found an article:

Using Dynamic Mesh Models to Simulate
Electrostatic Spray-Painting
//by Q. Ye
// Institut f¨ur Industrielle Fertigung und Fabrikbetrieb Universit¨at Stuttgart
Nobelstr. 12, D-70569 Stuttgart, Germany

which is in principle very similar to what I want to achive. Please have a look at the attached jpeg.

My inlet slot is a much simpler geometry (rectangular volume) and I imported it, and substracted it from a bigger (environment)volume.
The substracted volume was retained and I used a face as my inlet.

After importing into Fluent, this inlet is not found and skipped. Do I have to split the face with the volume?

The second question would be: How can I create a mesh as the one shown in the picture. I guess I have to create a virtual cylinder/cube around my geometry and mesh it. But how do I implement the size function so that the mesh becomes crude on the outside?

Best regards
