Majority of paper using around same geometry have around 5M cells to 9M cells.&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My question is:&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1- can I scale down a geometry in ansys by factor of 5 or 10 to reduce the computational time. Will it effect negatively on the results of multiphase simulation ?&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2- My curiosity is, if the domain scalled down by factor of 5, so the cell size will also be smaller 5 times then normal. does it means the overall number of elements in the domain is not changing and also the computational time remains unchanged. ??&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-386860","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-multiphase_models-1","topic-tag-3d-geomertry","topic-tag-scale","topic-tag-scale-factor-1"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["294380","199"],"_bbp_author_ip":["37.120.154.98"],"_btv_view_count":["423"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["386860"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["199","294380"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["386892"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["386892"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-09-25 08:22:33"]},"test":"abdullahhassanmail-ustc-edu-cn"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/386860","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\/386860\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=386860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
