I create atmospheric boundary layer(ABL) domain (100m length*25m height*50m width). The two machines are a bit complex geometry but I made some simplification. I create two small boxes inside ABL domain; the 1st one is to put the machines inside it so that I can make refinement around the machines. The second box is just after the 1st box in the wake region to make refinement to capture the flow details. All boxes are fluid. I don&#039;t need to mesh the whole volume of the machines rather ONLY the surface so I apply Boolean operation (subtract). I apply body sizing for each box, face sizing(machine surfaces) and inflation from machine surfaces. <\/p>\n<p>But I&#039;m not happy with the quality of the mesh and also the convergence is not good. Have a look some screen shoots below.<\/p>\n<p>Any idea\/suggestion welcome!<\/p>\n<div class=\"embedExternal embedImage\">\n<div class=\"embedExternal-content\">\n<a class=\"embedImage-link\" href=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/JFOP75G9M65S\/convergence-and-monitor-point-png.png\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"embedImage-img\" src=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/JFOP75G9M65S\/convergence-and-monitor-point-png.png\" alt=\"convergence and monitor point.PNG\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-51951","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["24229"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":["*\u0002,@\u0001\u0000?\u0010\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0000\u0001??"],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["192"],"_bbp_subscription":["245909"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["51951"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27790"],"_bbp_engagement":["62","171573"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["142081"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["142081"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2021-02-11 13:15:23"]},"test":"fremol"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/51951","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\/51951\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
