Here you see the comparison of velocity profiles for different grids (grid 1 the coarsest, grid 4 the finest (505,000 cells). These results are achieved with SST including curvature correction on the polyhedral mesh with prismatic layers at the wall (y+ >30). I also noticed that some CFD-users suggest hexahedral mesh over polyhedral mesh for cyclone simulations.Â

With respect to experimental data:Â

Euler number in experiments is 5.1 [-], whereas my simulations results in roughly 20% higher value of 6.2.Â
