Refinement Error in Cylindrical Tank
Hey Foamers!
After having troubles with the MRFZone now I face the problems with the 3D case. I made an easy geometry, open cylinder as a tank with fluid in it (now is water).
I have 2 different problems but the concern for this post is about the dynamic refinement. I add to my solver the lines for updating the mesh (it's already working when the fluid is moving out of the tank) but in some cases depending on the blockmeshdict, the dynamicMeshDict and snappyHexMeshDict parameters an error appears. I saw another post with the same error but someone told that has lack of info so I'll try to explain properly my case with images.

All seems to be OK but when it starts to refine cause the fluid exits the tank due to rotation of it this error appears:

Avortat (bolcat de la imatge del nucli)
It seems to be a problem when dividing the surrounding cells around the tank, cause it appears when the first refinement starts. In other cases with other parameters it split the cells correctly till the divergence appears (the other problem).
I know that maybe the mesh is not as good as expected but with my laptop is the only way I can run the simulations.
Anyone knows how to fix that error?
Thanks,
