Hello,


Using best mesh standards/parameters.


1) Did anyone tried to compare heat transfer results for conformal and non conformal mesh. if yes, what was the geometry/part.

2) How are the results varying.
3) Does non conformal mesh correlates with test data (or any closer match).

it is a best practice to go with conformal mesh for better results, but, whats the actual or one on one difference foe mesh used?

Hi,
I have a experience the comparing.
Conformal mesh means poly and non-conformal mesh mean trimmed right?

as i remember, result was almost the same.
but not exactly.. heat transfer result is the same. but flow result.. i got quite different result.

i recommand trimmed mesh even though it is not conformal.

For a non-conformal mesh, you can generally satisfy the energy balance over volumes.

But if you want to match detailed temperature data, they you might want a conformal mesh.

conformal mesh means that the mean on both sides of the fluid|solid interface are the same (i.e. one continuous mesh).

Yes, but in CCM+ it is impossible to make conformal mesh using trimmed mesh.
I expect that Bharatt is asking trimmed non-conformal mesh vs poly conformal mesh..

Hello, can you please explain how I can set non-conformal interface?
