Hi friends,<\/p>\n

I am currently working with a complicated fluid domain that has been decomposed into several control volumes, which can now be fully swept.<\/p>\n

CASE A: When I run the model using the “merge” topology, I encounter difficulties in meshing the body to achieve a complete conformal body. This is crucial because the mass flux needs to behave continuously at the various interfaces of the control volumes. I face challenges in meshing this, as each part of the control volume needs to be meshed differently, and Ansys indicates that it cannot track the record. I have an important question: “HOW CAN WE TEST THE MESH INDEPENDENCY IN SUCH CASES?”<\/p>\n

CASE B: If I run the model using the “none” sharing topology, it simplifies my work and allows me to mesh the entire body properly compared to CASE A. The only issue I face is that when I obtain the results and take cross-sections, the mass flux does not match. I believe this is due to the non-conformal meshing. One way I found Ansys can handle this is by using the interface option and creating coupled walls. However, as you can see below, there are numerous contact options available, which makes the entire process laborious. Is there any easier way to achieve this? At least in this case, I can reduce the mesh size and compare mesh independence.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your help.<\/p>\n
