I am trying to model the flow of air over 3 2D cylinders (75ft in diameter each) in this configuration. I am quite new to Fluent and need some help sizing my mesh so that I get a structured topology. Could someone please advise me on whether this is a geometric issue or a meshing issue? Thank you.&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-460214","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-Structuredmeshing-2","topic-tag-2d-analysis","topic-tag-cylinder","topic-tag-fluent-mesh"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_forum_id":["27792"],"_bbp_topic_id":["460214"],"_bbp_subscription":["701724","199"],"_bbp_author_ip":["4.7.108.202"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["460299"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["460299"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2026-06-24 16:38:54"],"_bbp_reply_count":["4"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_engagement":["701724","199"],"_btv_view_count":["41"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"]},"test":"ayang1seas-upenn-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/460214","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\/460214\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=460214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
