I'm doing something dumb in setting up a two phase problem, but I can't see it. The model uses a course 3D gradient mesh from blockMesh as a starting point, and then does four layers of refinement (refineMesh) in the area around the hull. For some reason the resultant shape from snappyHexMesh seems to follow a coarse outline of the model based on the initial grid rather than the refined grid.

Suggestions would be most welcome!

The odd messing was due to refinement being done in only two of the three axes. refineMeshDict must be set to explicitly refine each dimension, such as with this snippet:

coordinateSystem global;

globalCoeffs
{
tan1 ( 1 0 0 );
tan2 ( 0 1 0 );
tan3 ( 0 0 1 );
}

directions ( tan1 tan2 tan3 );
