I have a problem with my mesh. Please help me. What's wrong??
Here i attach some pictures to describe the problem.

Domain is a cylinder that consists of 5 hexa-blocks. Non closed cells appears on front and back surfaces of central block.

Here is blockMeshDict:

Already solved this problem.

It turned out that the important role played by the ordering of the vertices of the blocks.
The first block is specified coordinate system grid: 0 1 is the X-axis, 1 2 is the Y-axis, and this axis is 0 4 is the Z-axis. All other units must be located in these coordinates as much as possible.

Sorry for my bad english .
