If the interface connects different fluid zones, the following boundary zones will be created : -Interface Interior Zone : this corresponds to the overlapping section through which will go the fluid flow -Boundary Zone 1 and Boundary Zone 2 : those correspond to the non-overlapping sections for each of the connected zones  If the interface connects different solid zones (Coupled Wall), the following boundary zones will be created : -Interface Wall Zone 1 and Interface Wall Zone 2 : this corresponds to the overlapping section, through which will occur the heat transfer, split into a wall and a wall shadow, for each of the connected zones. -Boundary Zone 1 and Boundary Zone 2 : those correspond to the non-overlapping sections for each of the connected zones   For additional information, the interface creation procedure for non-conformal meshes is fully described in the section \u201cNon-Conformal Meshes\u201d of Fluent User Guide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-161674","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-16-2","topic-tag-bcs-interfaces","topic-tag-fluent","topic-tag-fluid-dynamics","topic-tag-general","topic-tag-materials","topic-tag-mesh-interface","topic-tag-moving-deforming-mesh"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_wp_page_template":["default"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27796"],"_bbp_author_ip":["23.56.168.180"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["1-24-2023  20:20:28"],"_btv_view_count":["6009"],"siebel_km_number":["2040635"],"product_version":["16.2"],"km_published_date":["2015-12-01T16:59:59.000Z"],"family":["Fluid Dynamics"],"application_name":["FLUENT"]},"test":"articlesansys-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/161674","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/161674\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=161674"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
