Hi guys,
I am trying to validate my numerical method using NREL Phase VI blade in ANSYS FLUENT, but I am having hard times with meshing. I am using the standart meshing component of ANSYS. I just define face sizing, body sizing and infilation, I barely get 0.9 skewness having 12 M of mesh elements. I tried different sizing and methods, but still I can't increase the mesh quality. I have attached the picture of the fluid domain and other mesh sizing details. Do you have any advice? My power output results are arround %20 worse than experimental results. What should be the range of Y+ for k-w SST model? One more thing, the rotation direction of the Moving Domain inside is +z, that it true right? Thank you. |
