What if coase mesh at the boundary?

For a turbulence flow, if I am not interested in flow next to wall, can I use coarse mesh at the bounday (in normal direction of wall)?
Also, from model aspect, do I have to use fine grid if the model does not use a wall function? Thanks a lot for your valuable input. Ger |

1. No - behavior at and near the wall is probably the major influence on the flow.
2. Yes - see answer to 1. You need to have a y+ value of about 1 if you do not have wall functions. Otherwise you are wasting CPU cycles. |

If you are not interested in flow near the wall, then why dont you change the boundary conditions at the wall to extrapolation. This way your computational domain will also be small. That should work for flow away from wall and which is not affected by the wall. -amol

The original poster states that his interest is in turbulent flow. Ignoring the wall (a major source of turbulence) seems rather odd to me.

I think that may depend on problem at hand. if we have a jet type of configuration which is not wall bounded then i guess effect of wall may no matter. so may be if GER tells abt the particular problem we may know more. amol

What if only interested in large scales

I meant that we are interested in large scale motion of turbulence flows in which wall effects cannot be ignored.
What's your idea? Ger |

In that case I guess you would need fine enough grid to resolve the trubulence as ag had mentioned. -amol
