Hello OpenFOAMers,

in a previous thread, I was struggling with sHM and complex geometries, but this time, the case involves a much simpler geometry, in a quite standard configuration.

My problem consists in the simulation of heat transfer of a cylinder in a transverse flow. It involves the chtMultiRegionFoam solver, thus needing (in my case) a fluid and solid region.

I would like to use layers refinement in the fluid region at the interface between the fluid space and the solid cylinder, but either sHM generates the 2 regions without layers (only the normal leveled refinements) either it only generates the fluid region without solid region, but boundary layers at the wall where the solid region should be.

Is it so, that specifying layers in a multi-region sHM case will unfortunately not be possible because of incompatible interfaces between the solid region and the created refined layers?

Thanks in advance for any hints/help!

Regards,
Thibaud
