I was wondering if it is possible to use multiple symmetryPlane/symmetry boundary conditions using blockMesh. I have a domain that has two symmetry planes, but I've never combined two before. I am wary of effects near their intersection, or if blockMesh will complain similar to how mergeMesh can't handle two intersecting pairs.
Does anyone have experience with this? Some best practices would be handy. |

As far as I understand this, symmetry plane is the same as a slip b.c. and can be used at more tan one place. I did it without unexpected effects.
