Hi friends,
I'm trying to simulate a single-passage turbine vane using su2. However, because the mesh on both sides of the computational domain is non-conformal (i.e. not 1:1), the solver gives me the following message: Bad match for point 298530. Nearest donor distance: 2.9609723857e-05. Finally the solver diverges in less than 10 iterations. How can I set the periodic boundary conditions to solve this problem? Should I set some interpolation boundary conditions for the periodic faces? If anyone has had this type of problem and can help, I would appreciate it. Thanks, JZ |

I have encountered this issue before and was fortunate to resolve it at that time. Now I am sharing my experience with you in the hope that it will be helpful.
The problem with point mismatch is usually due to improperly set periodic boundaries. You can troubleshoot the error from the following aspects: Check the direction of node matching, whether it is counterclockwise or clockwise. Check the units of the mesh nodes. I am not sure how you generated the mesh. For turbomachinery, my habit is to use AutoGrid, where the default unit is either mm or m (I can't quite remember). Usually, importing meshes generated by commercial software into other commercial software shouldn't be an issue (even if they are from different companies), but it might not always work when importing into SU2. Ensure that the units of the node coordinates in your mesh file are consistent with those in the tutorial mesh file; this should have an effect. Good luck! |

Thanks Tongtong,
Actually, I have checked the direction and the units of the mesh. However, since the periodic boundary mesh in my case is naturally non-conformal (the mesh nodes are naturally not matching!), maybe the general 1:1 periodic boundary condition cannot be applied to my case. So I just wonder if su2 can deal with this kind of problem? Regards, JZ |

To my knowledge SU2 is not capable of non-conformal periodicity in the current release.
