merge blocks
 
Is there a way to merge blocks (consisting of several other blocks) with blockMesh? I have a cilinder (5 blocks) and I want to merge to a square (consiting of 3 blocks).
Thank u

Hi,

please read http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...-get-help.html and provide a minimal example (blockMeshDict and especially a sketch of the expected result) that allows to reproduce the problem in order to maximize your chances to get useful help.

There's probably no functionality in blockMesh that merges meshes in the desired way. The mesher blockMesh creates block structured meshes. The mesh interfaces between neighboring blocks need to match. You therefore need to restructure your mesh and create a correct transition between the two parts.

Another alternative is the usage of AMI to connect two subdomains by interpolation (outside the scope of blockMesh).
