Hi,
i ve a question regarding "Match Control" in Workbench Meshing. For illustration issues i attached a screenshot of my geometry. It represents a fluid slice of 0.5° in circumferential direction with an inflow at the bottom, a cavity, a throat section and an outflow at the top.
As boundary conditions, i set walls, inlet and opening at the faces in circumferential direction and an interface with fluid fluid 1:1 connection at the faces normal to circumferential direction.
In the Ansys WB meshing tool, l i set "match control" for faces with fluid fluid interface, so that i get a 1:1 matching mesh in circumferential direction. Settings for "match control" are "transformation: Cyclic", "axis of rotation: global coordinate system".
If i run the solver with these settings i get an error msg. If i dont use "match control" for these faces the calculation runs w/o any problem.
I dont get the problem, since the mesh should be better for the solver if i add "match control", so i force it to be a 1:1 sweep in circumferential direction.
If you look closely at the two pictures attached, left one shows boundary conditions for the case w/o "match control", right one shows boundary conditions with "match control".
For the second case the solver seems to ve problems with the interface boundary condition.
So if anyone could explain me that behavior.
Regards
