Hi,
This argument has been discussed several times but I haven't got a clear idea so far.

What is the difference between the addlayer step in SHM and the refineWallLayer utility ?

I've never been able to add layers in complex geometries with SHM but with rWL is simple. Unluckily the meshes obtained with the utility have usually severe non-orto and skewness problems.

I already tried following the advices in this threads:

http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...al-layers.html

http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tlet-pipe.html

But I couldn't get a clear general procedure... I don't think it's a problem related to my geometries, more probably to my brain

Has someone some hint ? Thanks.
