Like the title says, how do you know how many prism layers to use and total height of the prism layers? I was able to calculate my near wall length in order to get my y+ value to be less than 1 at the wall, but I'm not sure how to determine the total length. Attached are two images of my inlet face and a zoomed in picture of a prism layer transition. The cells of the last prism layer are much smaller than the first layer of tetras. Is that concerning? Thank you!

After you have satisfied your first cell height to achieve whatever y+ criteria you need, choose as small a growth ratio that you can afford.
Then, you want a smooth and gradual transition between cell sizes. So choose the number of layers and total thickness such that the last prism layer is ~ the same size as the first tet. |
