Hey guys,
I'm working with OF for quite a year by now and I thought I knew the basics about blockMesh but I got a little bit confused about 2D meshes. OF always operates in 3 dimensions, so all geometries are generated in 3 dimensions. When I want to setup a 2D case, I just define the empty boundary condition on boundaries normal to the 3rd dimensions. Well, so far so good. How many cells do I have to have at this 3rd dimension? I looked up some tutorial cases and all of them have just 1 cell. That's what I've thought to be right but I couldn't find anything saying this to be just 1 cell! Am I right by assuming that 2D cases MUST have ONLY 1 cell in the 3rd dimension or is it also possible to have more cells? Thanks |
