How to patch a sime-circle volume?

June 1, 2002, 18:22

Hi Can I patch a sime-circle or egg-shape in VOF, I have tried to use adapt/region/mark and initialize/patch for patching 2nd phase, but it seems impossible to define a half circle or ring shape or edd-shape for 2nd phase, does anyone have some idea how to do it? Thanks?

there are two ways to solve this problem. One is to create a sime-circle volume in gambit, second is to use UDF to create this volume in Fluent. But I guss UDS will be more difficult to do it. Then in Fluent you can patch it as second phase.

Try that!

Good luck
