Hello!

I'm meshing a cross flow heat exchanger and I don't know how to define the correct spacing near the wall. Is there some formula to find this correct spacing?. When I say "correct" I mean the wall Yplus be less than 1.

you can calculate the boundary layer first row height regarding to the flow condition you have with this program that NASA provides:

Thanks very much! the program works well, but in my case (turbulent flow passing around some cilinders) after calculating with it I've had to do 1 Wall Yplus adapt, but after doing this, Y+ is less than 1. Bye!
