Hi, I'm doing various tutorials to learn how to generate mesh with icem hexa. My goal is to generate a mesh for a turbine with very skew blade and complicated shape. Can someone tells me about any tutorials, article or hint about that subject? Thank you Zio

I had been worked on a group as a reasearcher that made a simulation like that with ANSYS CFX-v11.0, using hexa meshes, but i didn´t make this kind of mesh! It´s very difficult. You must create blocks inside of each region of the channel of stator and rotor. Around the profile, you have to create an o-grid mesh type. This kind of mesh brings better results with less computational effort.

Hi,

You are correct in that meshing turbomachinery in difficult. ANSYS has a product called Turbogrid which may help. It generates very nice turbomachinery meshes.

U can export the data from bladegen and make a hexa mesh for the channel stator/rotor on icem cfd using blocks! it´s not easy!

Hi,

I have never used turbogrid but I understand it can generate the meshes also. No need to export to ICEM. Please correct me if I am wrong.
