Lecture 7 - Meshing Applied Computational Fluid …

1 Lecture 7 - MeshingApplied Computational Fluid DynamicsInstructor: Andr Andr Bakker (2002-2006) Fluent Inc. (2002)2 Outline Why is a grid needed? Element types. Grid types. Grid design guidelines. Geometry. Solution adaption. Grid is a grid needed? The grid: Designates the cells or elements on which the flow is solved. Is a discrete representation of the geometry of the problem. Has cells grouped into boundary zones where s are Applied . The grid has a significant impact on: Rate of convergence (or even lack of convergence). Solution accuracy. CPU time required. Importance of mesh quality for good solutions. Grid density. Adjacent cell length/volume ratios.

3 Why is a grid needed? • The grid: – Designates the cells or elements on which the flow is solved. – Is a discrete representation of the geometry of the problem.
