Hi All

I am trying to simulate 3D flapping wing using fluent and i keep getting negative volume when i run the mesh motion. I used smoothing and remeshing. I have reduce the time step and still it didnt work. I also changed the remeshing parameters but no go. I read that for dynamic mesh "the translation in one time step should not be more than half the cell size adjacent to the moving boundary". what does that means? How can i get the cell size adjacent to the moving boundary? By the way how do i determine the correct value for dynamic mesh parameters :


1) Minimum length scale
2) Maximum length scale
3) Adjacent zone cell height

I used the data from mesh scale info (button)

Will increasing the density of the grid reduces the possibility of getting negative volume.

cheers
