hi ,everyone.

As all known, the Enhanced wall treatment needs that the y+ must be equal to 1 or below 5.

Some useful formula tools are aviable online, one is provided by NASA,as the following URL:
http://geolab.larc.nasa.gov/APPS/YPlus/

For a given Reynolds number, Mach number and desired y+ value, this page will estimate the spacing normal to a solid surface required to yield 1 grid point in the laminar sublayer.

Now , my problem is what is the Ref. Length meaning actually ?
