Hi all,

i have a question about using empty boundary condition. if i use empty boundary condition in z direction for example, should i make one cell only in z direction while establishing my mesh, or could i make it more than one cell?

i know that technically, no mean to make it more than one, but i ask if it could affect the calculations?

thanks

Marhaba Ahmed!

openFoam as I know dont recognize 2D Mesh!

well, yes at least on cell must be in this direction.

See cavitiy tutorial. It has one cell in empty direction.

Salam

Peter
