The mesh that I want is like the one in black with the red line of interface between the phases. Also, the one I get with the FLUENT VOF adaption scheme, is in green mesh. The controls (options) I am having are also attached in the post here. I have tried each and every combination to control the same, but no success. I have tried &#8220;advanced controls&#8221; by providing additional refinement layers, still it doesn&#8217;t work out.<br \/>The requirement is such that the mesh adapted layers should not instantly get coarsened, instead it should have some additional layers (say 5 or 6 layers of the same sized cells) as shown in the figure with black mesh, and the same should continue for the next level.<br \/>Is there a way that this distance from the interface or the number of fixed sized layers can be confirmed to achieve the desired adaption control\/desired mesh as shown.<br \/>If there can be some expression also, please help me with some hints how to do so.<br \/>Many thanks in advance.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"adapted mesh in fluent\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/15-09-2023-1694781398-mine.png\" alt=\"Fluent generated mesh\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"desired mesh adaption\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/15-09-2023-1694781431-required.png\" alt=\"desired mesh\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"available controls in Fluent\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/15-09-2023-1694781460-controls.png\" alt=\"available controls\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-306955","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-adaptivemesh-2"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["172258","199"],"_bbp_author_ip":["96.7.218.223"]," _bbp_last_reply_id":["0"]," _bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["478"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["306955"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["199","172258"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["6"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["307287"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["307287"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-09-18 15:10:36"]},"test":"kumar119"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/306955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/306955\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=306955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
