Applying mesh adaption to shear stress

      I am looking to run a model applying mesh adaption based on shear stress. I created a custom field variable for this successfully and am now trying to effectively apply it in mesh adaption settings. Would it be recommended to do this based on cells with high shear stress refining (to capture small scale features) and low shear stress coarsening, based on graident of shear stress? 

      Thanks,

      That will depend on what you want to resolve! Refining on high gradients is usually the recommended approach.
