chriss85 will become famous soon enough
I have a geometry which is axisymmetric in 4 quarters. What is the recommended way for meshing this and what boundary conditions are appropriate? Should I use wedge or symmetryPlane?
Is it reasonable to create a wedge-like mesh but with more cells in the angular direction to have better alignment of the cells with the radial flow direction? Does it hurt to have wedge cells at the center axis?
