Introduction The main goal of this post is to give you the best meshing practices for high-quality CFD simulations, regarding geometry preparation, cell sizing techniques and boundary layer generation. You’ve probably heard the phrase: "Garbage in – garbage out." This...
Is it always the mesh? Part 7: Volume Ratio – the Secret Killer Nobody Talks About
Quite often, I hear complaints about non-orthogonality, the required number of non-orthogonality correctors to achieve convergence, and how it is worthless even trying to run a solver on a mesh, etc. The point of this series of posts is to give you an overview of the...
Automatic Acute Edge Detection and Fillet Creation Algorithm
Introduction In Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), maintaining mesh quality is crucial for achieving convergence and accuracy. A common issue arises when dealing with acute feature edges—regions where two parts of the surface meet at sharp angles. These edges...
