Hi..

I am trying to simulate turblent flow inside a duct. I generated the mesh using Proam.

What exactly is the significance of the extrusion layer? is it just the surface mesh? Do I need to include it while specifying the boundary conditions.

I am novice with star CD. Please bear with me if it is an obvious answer..

Hi, Extrusion layer is the boundary layer that you generate for the wall (if required) depending on your application. Hope this helps - Mac.

without extrusion layer your solution is really poor. It is not recommended to run a case without extrusion layer (except for fluent users )

ask your support office to explain you why with a picture.

Hello !

The extrusion layer is one (or more) layer(s) of cells next to the wall. Let's say you have one layer... This layer has a thickness (which you specify) and this thickness is crucial for the y+ values in that region in a turbulent regime... This y+ value ideally should be between 30-100 (it works acceptable between 11-300) when you involve a high Re number k-e turbulence model. You have to be careful with this value especially when you compute heat transfer coefficients at the walls...

Thanks !

I have another question.

I simulated the model with a default extrusion wall layer thickness of 1. The model converged. How do I check the values of y+. Can I check from the post processing files?

Yes, you can. But you have to make sure that you checked this:in analysis output panel there is a tab which shows some variables to be either posted or printed. Among those there is y+ values.., You have to check the "post" button for that value and run you simulation for 1 more iteration. The results pst file will contain the y+ value... You get it with the command: getw,yplu
