Increasing Shock Resolution

mmmaada00 · March 7, 2022, 17:24

I have simulating a oblique shockwaves in a channel with a terminating shock with the aim of analys8inig the total pressure loss. However, the resolution of the shock(s) in the solution is very poor (I have included an image below).

I believe the mesh is sufficiently fine and has a high cell count with a good element quality. I am also using a density based solver.

Could anybody offer help as to what I may do to fix this issue?

Thank you.

looks like the mesh is an issue

may be inlet part of your mesh

on the other hand may be your solution is not converged
