I&#8217;m trying to see how fluid acts when flowing through it, and I tried a lot of different methods but I&#8217;m met with so many errors.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The channel length is ~1m and the width was originally 50mm with a sinusoidal bottom face, and I cut the channel in half to reduce node sizes (planning to do a symmetry face in Fluent)&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also, since this is the fluid domain, would inflation layers still need to be added on the faces? Any help is greatly appreciated!&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/03-06-2026-1780509680-mceclip0.png\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/03-06-2026-1780509685-mceclip1.png\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-459277","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-fluent-ansys-1","topic-tag-fluent-mesh","topic-tag-mesh","topic-tag-meshing"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_forum_id":["27784"],"_bbp_topic_id":["459277"],"_bbp_subscription":["692217","240","199"],"_bbp_author_ip":["2607:fb90:9b89:4f6:308a:90de:af01:f976"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["459300"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["459300"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2026-06-04 08:39:04"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_engagement":["692217","240","199"],"_btv_view_count":["50"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_edit_last":["692217"],"_bbp_revision_log":["a:1:{i:459278;a:2:{s:6:\"author\";i:692217;s:6:\"reason\";s:0:\"\";}}"],"_bbp_notification_enabled":["692217"],"_edit_lock":["1780520379:692217"]},"test":"mchen242uic-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/459277","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":1,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/459277\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":459278,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/459277\/revisions\/459278"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=459277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
