hybrid mesh around a stator

October 21, 2000, 02:57

Hallo.

I'm trying to generate a hybrid mesh on hub, tip and stator of an axial-flow low-speed compressor. I've created a triangular surface mesh using Ideas. I'm using TGrid V 3.1.0 to create the prisms in the boundary layer and fill in the rest of the domain with tetrahedra. The wall zones defining the boundary-domain are inlet, outlet an periodic.

When generating the prisms TGrid projects the new created nodes to the periodic-zone. After triangulating the periodic-zone TGrid trys to regenerate the shadow-zone but exits. The error reported is:

Regenerating shadow for zone side1-tri. 1987 triangular faces created in new zone side1-tri-shadow.

Error: Mesh corrupted at c211533 merging bn3831 - bn3831. Error Object: #f

I have no idea how to solve this problem. Can somebody help me?

The problem is caused by unmatched faces on the periodic boundaries. Try to include the periodic boundaries when growing prizms.

Thank you for answering.
