CFX - Post Boundary layer Quality Assessment

hseyaodnanref · November 19, 2015, 11:10

Hi,

I am struggling to find out how to asses the boundary layer quality from the Y+ distribution. If anyone knows how to asses the quality please i help me with this

Thank you,
Hseya

Could you describe your problem wider? You want to see Y+ parameter on the monitor in CFX-Solver or i CFD Post? Anyway, it is a simple formulation:
areaAve(Yplus)@Locator. Done

You cannot assess the boundary layer quality simply from the y+ distribution. It is more complex than that.

But at the end of the day, you need to do a mesh sensitivity study and this will determine if your mesh (and therefore your y+) is adequate for your application.
