Hi all,

I am trying to do a VAWT wind turbine simulation using GGI and turbDyMFoam. All is well except my y+ values. The domain is in 2D (using "empty" patches in the y-direction) and split into two zones (rotor and stator). I have tried to add a layer mesh at the airfoil surfaces ("wng"), but despite SHM writing writing a new mesh to a folder, the mesh remains the same. I have tried to tweak the parameters, but nothing seems to help.

I have gone through the different fora, but nothing has helped me.

I hope someone can offer an insight - Thank you in advance!

Did you ever figure this out? I am doing the same and I just can't get the layers to grow. I too am using the motorbike tutorial file with the numbers essentially changed. I can get quite a nice surface/volume mesh, but unfortunately no layers :-(

[farahiam]

Hi Robert

Have you figured out how to create the BL?
I have just succesfully managed my model.
Maybe you could try see this thread: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...tml#post310953

Also, if you like, I could have a see in your sHMD file if you post it here.

Regards,
Ayu

[aerogt3]

Thanks for your reply, I actually did figure it out. The problem was first naming issues, and then that SHM doesn't imprint onto boundaries, like the symmetry plane for example, so you can only see them by doing a volume mesh slice. Once I did that I saw that they had been grown!

[OvGU]

I am trying to creat a surface layer in a simple cylinder combined of 2 radius (cone+ cylinder).This can be a reason or not, I don't know. But It's not working. If anybody can give any solution .....................
