[ICEM] Corner mesh overlapping when refine spacing down to 3.0E-6

silkworm · November 7, 2018, 08:50

Hello, I have a trouble when I want to refine my mesh spacing to 3.0E-6.
As you can see in these pictures, the mesh that is near the corner of two intersected surfaces overlaps(those colored solid mesh are poor-quality mesh). The problem only occurs when I refine the first spacing to 5.0E-6 or less,while everything is ok when the spacing is 1.0E-5 or larger.
I have tried to split the block to make the mesh smooth, but in vain.
Any one has an idea about what's wrong with it? Thanks Thanks for your help!!
