Hi there,
I am trying to blockmesh a cylinder in crossflow in order to predict the nature of flow over cylinder at high Reynolds numbers. I am getting errors while doing checkmesh but my blockmesh is working and i could not really figure of what the error is.
my blockmesh Dict is attached here and the error showing is the following..
