Non-conformal mesh autimatically created walls - do these act as solid walls?

Vestdam · November 17, 2017, 07:28

Hi there

I have created a non-conformal hexahedral mesh on the extracted fluid domain of a centrifugal fan and when importing the mesh in Fluent, interfaces are created. This is all fine, but I am wondering, when the interfaces are automatically made, additional walls are created when the mesh is not in contact (for example on each side of an impeller blade). Do these walls act as a solid wall, so that I can make it rotating? When I display the automatically created walls, nothing is displayed.

Thank you in advance.
