Elio is on a distinguished road
I am modeling a 3D case of a vertical axis wind turbine. I calculated the first layer (which was 3e-5 m)however i got a y+ value of 708 after 1 complete rotation of the turbine!!! It's a complete mess. I need a y+ value of 1. I already have 11 million elements. Do you think the solution has not converged completely yet? Or is there any other way? Please advise
In addition one rotation is taking around 2 days to get a solution. So I need a solution that could get me going faster.
Many thanks
