I used inflation to create the boundary layer mesh and face sizing to create an unstructured quadrilateral core mesh. I have 2 questions regarding this mesh. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>First, I wonder how I can efficiently create a smooth transition from the inflation layer to the core mesh? I spent quite a lot of time adjusting the growth rate and maximum amount of layers in the inflation to get a more or less smooth transition. I used first layer thickness as the inflation option, because I want to be able to control the first layer height. Is there a better\/more efficient way to create the smooth transition? <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>My second question is about mesh refinement. How can I easily refine\/coarsen the mesh described above to perform a mesh independence study, while keeping the first layer thickness constant and the transition from boundary to core smooth?<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I would greatly appreciate your advice!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-40351","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["12531"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":[null],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["4487"],"_bbp_subscription":["246499"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["40351"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27790"],"_bbp_engagement":["62","199","172205","178168"],"_bbp_voice_count":["4"],"_bbp_reply_count":["4"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["123874"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["123874"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2020-08-10 02:51:58"]},"test":"annesophie"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/40351","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\/40351\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
