CFDturbomachinery is on a distinguished road
Hi everyone,
if your y+ comes to be around 1200 in steady state simulation of a turbine, how do you reduce it, say to 100 (adjusting the first layer thickness or ?) ? any best way to control it?

The best way to reduce y+ for a given flow is to use a finer mesh (ie reduce first layer thickness).
