Meshing a Mixing Plane using ICEM
I would like to make a mixing plane using ICEM CFD.
Fluent requires that the mixing plane constitute of two parallel and coincident planes. This is the example of a mixing plane in the fluent tutorial. http://lh5.ggpht.com/_PqzKw7xCW0A/TN...ixingplane.jpghttp://lh3.ggpht.com/_PqzKw7xCW0A/TN...xingplane2.jpg Two planes of different size, different mesh and different zone but which are entirely on the same geometric plane. When I try to make a mixing plane in ICEM, ICEM forces the individual surface meshes to share elements, meaning, no parallel coincident planes, rather, a common shared plane. http://lh3.ggpht.com/_PqzKw7xCW0A/TN...ixingplane.jpg The blue elements belong to one surface mesh and the green elements to another. These meshes should be separate and on top of each other. I've tried a lot of things to force ICEM to produce two interior coincident planes which belong to separate zones but nothing has helped. I believe that the step "Repair Geometry / Build Topology" knits the two surfaces together. Maybe somebody here has made a mixing plane using ICEM CFD. How did you mesh the mixing plane interface? |
