Surface meshing using curvature

    • Manfredi Tambella

      Hello.
      I am currently trying to simulate a foil with flap in water using Fluent. I am using Curvature option to mesh the object surface with settings: min 20mm, max150mm. The object is approx 670mm long. However the following error appears on the console, not sure to understand. Any advice?
      Thank you in advance for your help.

      The message tells you exactly what you need to do. Due to the sharpness of (likely) your trailing edge, you are getting excessively skewed cells. I would recommend using both curvature and proximity sizing in the Surface Mesh task. If refining the mesh locally does not help, you will need to round the geometry near the problematic region to provide sufficient space to fit mesh cells.
