Currently, I am doing a mesh independence study to assess the dependence of the simulation results. For that purpose,<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I created a report definition of area-weighted avg of radial and tangential velocity in the XY plane and monitored them until they reach the steady-state along with continuity residuals which have reduced to 10-4.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">So, my question is whether plotting that monitor point value of radial velocity vs the number of cells in the simulation is a correct way to study mesh independence?<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/attachments\/e1c204ab-3970-48f6-97b9-a98f007dae8b\/23696c05-4e68-43f0-95b7-ab76008b7987_mesh-independence-study.jpg?width=690&amp;upscale=false\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-41548","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["13728"],"_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":["2605"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["41548"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_engagement":["118","22555","160121"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["4"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["107167"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["107167"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2020-03-07 08:55:09"]},"test":"hafiz"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/41548","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\/41548\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
