Guys,
when trying to simulate the flow around a blade of a water turbine, what do you thing would be more suitable, a structured or an unstructured mesh and why? Thanks! Nikos |

You need well shaped cells that have faces that are parallel and perpendicular to the blade suface. They need to follow the blade contours. Whether you do that with a structured or unstructured mesh is completely irrelevant.

What i did for a foil was creating a boundary layer that is perpendicular to the foil surface (about 20 layers; up to you)(ie. the boundary followed the shape of foil , they call it C grid) then outside the boundary layer, i made unstructured tringular mesh.then the further outside i used rectangular structured mesh. thats what my lecturer taught me.
