Hi all having a few issues with my prism layers around my Wind Turbine as seen attached. I've been playing with the main prism layer properties and expert properties but I cant get them any better.
I've set up my mesh in the automated mesh and used various surface and volume controls. The slant seen just downwind of the blades was to follow an extra part I had to insert after part of the nacelle structure disappeared when inserting a cylinder around my blades. I'm using the surface remesher, polyhedral mesher and prism layers. Is there a way of keeping them parallel to the geometry and a more uniform thickness around bends? Plus the front of my hub will not keep good curvature at the point. Any input welcome. |

Your prism layers are far too thick. The last cell should be roughly the same size as the first core cell. The cusp at the LE of the cone is unfortunate and there isn't much you can do to fix that.
Remove the prisms over the rotating interface. There's no gradients there. |
