Hi, when performing a mesh indepanace study, should i refine the whole domain or just refine the zone of interest (ex: when flow has serious velocity gradient ) ?

That should depend on what you are investigating, like the zone of interest as you mentioned. If your mesh study is focusing on the boundary layer, then i suppose you do not have to refine the volume mesh.
