I am working with an airfoil with a structured mesh area around the airfoil and and unstructured (free) mesh throughout the rest of the domain. I have used ICEM to do fully structured airfoil meshes in the past with great success, but the current research (for my MS thesis) requires many meshes to be created for a quasi- steady state analysis and I am required (advised) to use the current hybrid mesh setup.

I am struggling to resolve the wake area with enough resolution, and cannot figure out a good way to increase the mesh density where I need to. It seems that the expansion ratio of the cells is too high and thus the cells increase in size too rapidly for my liking.

I am looking for help and ideas to be able to increase the density of the wake area. I have already tried increasing the edge spacing with minimal luck. I have also have zero success using the refinement function but is more then likely user error. Thanks!
