Hello all,
I am currently working on the external aerodynamics case for a car.
Basically, I manage to do the snappyHexMesh
However, eventhough I set the number of layers = 10, but, I fail to create even a single layer.
I dont know what is the problem with my file.
The part in sHM where I define the no.of layers are as below:

// Settings for the layer addition.
addLayersControls
{
relativeSizes true;
//relativeSizes false;

// Per final patch (so not geometry!) the layer information
layers
{
car3
{
nSurfaceLayers 3;
}
}

// Expansion factor for layer mesh
expansionRatio 1.0;

//- Wanted thickness of final added cell layer. If multiple layers
// is the
// thickness of the layer furthest away from the wall.
// Relative to undistorted size of cell outside layer.

//finalLayerThickness 0.0055; //absolute
finalLayerThickness 0.1; //relative

//- Minimum thickness of cell layer. If for any reason layer
// cannot be above minThickness do not add layer.
// Relative to undistorted size of cell outside layer.

//minThickness 0.0005; //absolute
minThickness 0.1; //relative

//- If points get not extruded do nGrow layers of connected faces that are
// also not grown. This helps convergence of the layer addition process
// close to features.
nGrow 1;


// Advanced settings

//- When not to extrude surface. 0 is flat surface, 90 is when two faces
// make straight angle.

featureAngle 15;
//featureAngle 30;

//- Maximum number of snapping relaxation iterations. Should stop
// before upon reaching a correct mesh.
nRelaxIter 3;

// Number of smoothing iterations of surface normals
nSmoothSurfaceNormals 1;

// Number of smoothing iterations of interior mesh movement direction
nSmoothNormals 3;

// Smooth layer thickness over surface patches
nSmoothThickness 10;

// Stop layer growth on highly warped cells

//maxFaceThicknessRatio 0.0025; //absolute
maxFaceThicknessRatio 1.0; //relative

// Reduce layer growth where ratio thickness to medial
// distance is large
//maxThicknessToMedialRatio 0.0015; //absolute
maxThicknessToMedialRatio 1.0; //relative

// Angle used to pick up medial axis points
minMedianAxisAngle 130;

// Create buffer region for new layer terminations
nBufferCellsNoExtrude 0;

// Overall max number of layer addition iterations
nLayerIter 50;
}


Hope someone could help me on this.
The pics of the section cuts are as attached.

Thank you.

It might be good if you post a log of your snappy run. I use snappyHexMesh -overwrite >Snappy_Log

This will create a Snappy_Log file which you can post here which should tell us/someone why it doesn't work.

I am having the same problem, and I think it is due to the complexity of the geometry and layers possibly crashing into each other. Would be good to know for sure though.

Hello Scott!
Thanks alot for the reply.
I really appreciate your attention..

Here, I attached my log file for snappyHexMesh process.
I am not sure what is the actual problem.
I am really hoping to figure this out and solve the problem.

N.B. I divide the file into 2 parts as this web has size limitation on the filesize.

Tq.

[scott]

It says that there are no layers to add... It may be that something is not right in the setup.

Can you please also post your snappyHexMeshDict file.

Thanks,

Scott

[farahiam]

Hi Scott,
I include the half part of the snappyHexMeshDict file as below.
FYI, my y+ values are very small, which I am not sure how to increase the y+ values (attached is the y+ log file).

Ayu

What is the full patch name for ext_aero in the boundary file under constant/polymesh?

I think you need to use the full patch name, not just the name of that section.

It might be car_ext_aero or something similar... I do not think that it is recognising the ext_aero by itself.

I'm only coming to terms with Snappy now myself, but I think I am on the right track for your problem.

As far as Y+ goes, its the non-dimensional cell distance from the wall and its relation to the local velocity of that cell. Hence if you want to increase (or decrease) it then you need to go to larger (or smaller) cell heights at the surface. I guess you can do this by modifying the thickness of the layers or also by not refining the surface as much, hence the first cell would be larger.

Hope this helps!

Hi Scott, I have been thinking about this too but I havent tried anything yet. Yes, just like you guessed, my .stl files has different names. Below is the initial part of the sHMD file where I define each diff. components of the car:

Ok, I will give it a try on your suggestions.

Hi again,

Ok, by the looks of it I'd try car3_ext_aero when defining the names for the layers. One way to check for sure is to look at the resultant $RUN_DIRECTORY/constant/polymesh/boundary file.

If anyone else familiar with snappyHexMesh can have a look at this problem then I'd also like to hear your comments. I am just thinking along the lines of the simple things I have done in the past to resolve similar issues.

For complex geometries mine will start to create the layers, based on the naming convention I have used above, but then it all falls in a heap and after a few undo iterations there are no layers in my final mesh.

Thanks,

Scott

[farahiam]

Ok Thanks a lot Scott.
I will re-post once I've obtained the results.

Cheers!
Ayu

[farahiam]

Hi Scot,
I have managed to create the boundary layers on the car. Pictures as attached.
In my opinion, to capture the BL on complex geometry, maybe you could play around with the feature angle? I am not sure whether this helps.

Ayu

[scott]

Hi Ayu,

Good to see that it is working!

For future reference for others who come across this thread, what was the fix?

I'll try feature angle but I think its due to the complexities of my geometry.

Could you please post a closer up photo of your underbody/engine bay? Has it included boundary layers there also? Have you modified any of the settings/feature angles etc to get this to work?

Cheers,

Scott

[farahiam]

Yes, I also manage to capture the BL on the underbody.
Attached picture shows the BL near the exhaust pipe & underfloor and rear muffler & rr bumper.

I change the setting to relative (instead of absolute) - means that the layers addition is relative to the near wall cell dimensions.
Hope this helps.

Hello Guys, I have a similar problem with much more complex geometry. I haven't managed to make BL around the hole body since now.
Working for days and trying different combinations of options and settings is useless.

I have attached an image.
Do you have any idea how can I make it work?

Dear Scott and Ayu,

Is this because of mesh controls? How can I prevent sHM not to undo layer adding?

I tried different feature angles 0, 15, 30, 180, but no success.

Hope this helps.

even making it relative or absolute doesn't effect anything.

Why is it so hard for sHM to create boundary layers? wasn't it better for sHM and other meshing programs to make boundary layers at first and then mesh the rest of the domain? for example like GAMBIT.

Thank you very much,
Mojtaba
