unsturcture cell & cylinder cell Difference~

January 3, 2006, 02:26

Is there any difference between unsturcture-typed cell pipe and cylinder-typed cell pipe. I simulate the pipe flow using these two cell type . from results,I find the result using cylinder-typed cell .the velocity profile will diminish(near r=0).but I use the unstructure-typed flow I find the velocity profile will be fatter(near r=0). so are there any differences between them?

Looks like you've forgot to merge vertices and make "proper" prisms in your cylinder-typed mesh
