Dear openFoam Users,

please help me with this simple problem.

I would like to mesh a rectangular area using blockMesh with a grading function to manipulate the cell expansion ratio. This function would tighten the mesh dimensions near the domain boundary.The cell expansion ratio would need to be governed by a sinusoidal function.

In the example below we can read "simpleGrading" and I would like to have other solutions available.

Please explain me how this can be done or point me to similar threads in the forum.

PS:
I am a begginer, please mind that if you loose the time to help me.

Regards,
Luis
