Inconsistent grading between a Hex and a Prism?
1 Attachment(s)
Hi,
I am trying to create a relatively simple mesh using blockMesh in OpenFOAM V8. However, I keep running into issues when merging a prism and a hex. I ended up using (1 1 1) for grading to see if it'd work better, but it seems not. I am trying to get a uniform mesh of about 0.01 meters and am not sure how to get there when I can't even merge simple blocks.
I saw that modifying the blockMeshMerge.C files to allow more spacing for merging might help ( https://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/op...c-problem.html), but can't find a good tutorial to modify and use it. Since blockMesh is read only, can anyone refer me to a way to create my own blockMesh that I could use, with only the blockMeshMerge.C file modified?
Alternatively, here's my blockMeshDict file, in case someone can find the issue, along with a schematic of the mesh I am trying to create, with the vertices and blocks IDed.
Thank you so much for any help you can provide !
