Default Internal faces between blocks

masb is on a distinguished road
Dear All,

I'm creating a mesh with many internal blocks. The mesh and boundary conditions are OK but some internal faces are producing mass flow. Should not these internal faces between blocks (which didn't received boundary conditions) simply be ignored?
Any quick help is welcomed.

Many thanks,

Marco.

Greetings Marco,

I've moved you thread to the blockMesh sub-forum, since this would be the best place to ask about how to use it

I don't have enough time right now to go around diagnosing the one you've got, so my quickest suggestion is for you to use SwiftBlock: http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Contrib/SwiftBlock

Best regards,
Bruno
