Dear Sir,
I want to use Reef3D solver but my geometry is very complex. So, I want to create flow domain using different mesh program such as Salome or OpenFoam - SnappyHexMesh. Then, I want to import it into reef3d. Is there any possibilities to do that? Best Regards, |

Dear Furkan,
This is currently not possible. You can however, import any stl of any complexity. There are several mesh coarsening methods available to provide refined meshes around complex bodies.

REEF3D's mesh is quite straightforward, as the immersed boundary is used. This is the reason why other mesh formats are not really needed. As Arun mentioned, you can either use STLs or the internal solid geometries. Also, for natural topography, bed levels can be interpolated from data points.

Thanks Arun.
But how can we refine the mesh around the complex bodies as you mentioned. Can you please explain it in detail? Many thanks for the help. |

Hi Furkan,
have a look at the B101-B130 options in DIVEMesh. They are specifying the grid-stretching options. The mesh for REEF3D::CFD is a non-uniform rectilinear mesh with immersed boundaries for complex solid boundaries. |
