ICEM Blocking Strategy for Torus of Revolution-like Domain

      Hi all,


      I am trying to create a structured mesh with ICEM for a wind tunnel entrance region. I have been struggling to create appropriate blocks to form a bellmouth and a small inner nose. Please see the attached pics for the domain (of which only symmetry plane is shown for better visualisation - CAD in *.STEP format is attached as well).


      Any help/idea will be greatly appreciated. 


      Thanks.

      I think you have to generate several o-grids in 2 directions, as I also tried to depict below. If it is not clear enough, I can also send you the icem cfd files. Please let me know.

      Hi highhopes,


      I really appreciate your effort on this! That'd be great if you could send me /attach files here as zip so I can take a look?


      Thanks.

      Thanks very much! Would it be possible for you to attach ICEM files only as I cant open the project as it was saved in future version?


      Many thanks.

      Here you can find only the Icem files attached. You are welcome and best of luck with your research.
