Reply To: Discontinuity at Interface between Rotating and Stationary Domain

Dear Rob, thank you for your answer. I hope I correctly understood your demand. Here are pictures of the mesh on a slice through the center of the propeller.

As you can see, it is a non-conformal mesh as I merged both meshes in fluent. At an earlier stage I meshed both the stationary and rotating domain together, having a conformal mesh. However, for some reason fluent created holes in that mesh interface which lead to a divergence in the continuity resdiuum (see the contour plot I uploaded). That is the reason why I mesh both geometries separately, naming the interface area "interface". Then I manually create the interface in fluent
