Manual with definitions of openFoam quality metrics

PetrosLazaris · March 9, 2024, 06:35

Good morning.

I would like to ask you if there is any manual of OpenFOAM.com or OpenFOAM.org with the definitions of all the mesh quality metrics used by OpenFOAM checkMesh utility. The definitions could be given with equations or explanatory figures. I searched in OpenFOAM v11 User Guide but I did not find them.

Thnak you very much in advance.

Hello,
1) For knowing the quality metrics used by checkMesh, you can check out the following links:
a) https://www.openfoam.com/documentati...shquality.html

b) Slides 14 and 15 - http://www.wolfdynamics.com/wiki/tipsandtricks.pdf

2) For understanding the meaning, you can check out this really nice presentation regarding mesh quality by Wolf Dynamics:
