OpenFOAM v2106: Running Adaptive Mesh Refinement with AMI present

AmrShaalan · April 24, 2024, 16:15

Hello,

I am working on a wind turbine simulation in OpenFOAM using a sliding mesh and I want to also use Adaptive Mesh Refinement. The problem is that once the Adaptive Mesh Refinement is triggered, I get AMI patch weight of 0 and then the simulation crashes.

AMI: Patch source sum(weights) min:0 max:1.20617 average:1.00138

I tried to exclude the cells close to the AMI from the refinement by setting a refinement region using topoSet but it did not work (I do not think it is actually selecting the cells I specified)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is the case folder already meshed:

Essentially what I am asking is how to limit AMR to a specific zone and not the whole domain.

Any help is really appreciated
