Boundary layer first cell distance

ACER · July 17, 2012, 10:47

Hi

I would like to start my first prism cells for my boundary layer at a distance of say 0.00001 away from the wall, im a bit confused about the type of stretching mode i have to use to get that required distance...could someone help me out please...

Regards

If you go to Continua-Mesh-Models-Prism Layer Mesher, you can select the Stretching Mode: choose Wall Thickness.

Then, under Continua-Mesh-Referece Values-Thickness of Near Wall Prism Layer, you can set your desired thickness.

Hope this helps,

Ryan
