[Gmsh] Residual not dropping for my mesh. Want to implement boundary layer on surface.

Manideep Reddy · September 2, 2017, 03:15

Dear all,

I want to simulate turbulent incompressible flow over an Airship profile using OpenFOAM SimpleFOAM solver. So, I made mesh using GMSH . But the problem is solution not converging. No matter how much time I wait, they are not going below 0.01. So I assumed that the problem is with the mesh. I did not create very fine mesh near wall to capture the boundary layer effects. Is this might the problem..?

My doubt is, How can I create very fine mesh on the wall surface to create boundary layer.?
I am attaching the links to my files. Somebody please help me as I am struck with it from the past 3 weeks.

Thanks in advance.

Can you please post a picture in what are you trying to simulate?

Thanks,
