AddLayers on an Airfoil
 

Hi Foamers!
I have a problem in creating the Boundary Layer on an airfoil geometry with SHM.
The castellated and snappy phase are ok whereas "addLayers " results in no layer added. Could someone help me?
Thanks a lot

Roberto

I attach the snappyHexMeshDict and the log file for the addLayer phase

Have you tried this (from your log):

?

Hi!
thx for your answer.
Yes I did it but no layer is added... I also changed the exp ratio to 0.1 to have a greater avg thickness.

I would suggest you to stick with the default parameters and then change only one of them at a time. Every time remember to get rid of every file mesh related.

For example, you set
and there's no point to me in setting this for an airfoil:



/------------------------------------------ Layer 3
| c
|
/------------------------------------------ Layer 2
| b
/------------------------------------------ Layer 1
|_a_______________________________
/////////////////////////////////////////// Wall


expansionRatio = c/b = b/a

The layers should grow in height when moving away from the wall. In your case they are getting smaller.

Also doesn't make much of a sense to me…

Do you need snappyHexMesh? If feasible for your airfoil you could use my little airfoil mesher, found here: http://hvirvel.dk/airfoilmesher/

Hi,

i have a question to the airfoil mesher. the linked website to worldofkrauss is not working to see the example dat-file. maybe you can show one?

Greetings to all!

@Andy: Seems like the server for the worldofkrauss website is having bad luck. You can find some information here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...3#post22118311 - it seems it was up again in July, but went down again now in August.
