  Been struggling with this and I need some help.... I am trying to simulate a 3D flow over an inclined flat plate and I cant seem to get uniform inflation layers over the top surface of the plate... any help would be appreciated thank you

  What are you doing, and what results are you getting? Have you read the documentation which explains what the different inflation algorithms do?

  I am trying to measure the boundary layer thickness for only the top surface hence I used the option first layer thickness. However the inflation does not blend in too well. Any tips for me to work on the inflation? Thank you

  The vertical edges has only one element. Please reduce the size so that you can have more elements on vertical edges. Then it will give good inflation layer at that location.
