Boundary Layer Meshing Tutorial Series

Application ID: 119081


Tutorials in this series deal with creating and manipulation of boundary layer meshes. In these tutorials you will learn how to set up a boundary layer mesh and modify the settings for an automatically created boundary layer mesh. For physics-controlled meshing a boundary layer mesh is automatically added for applications where sharp gradients are expected close to boundaries. You will discover how to control the number of layers, how to define the layer thicknesses, and how to create a boundary layer mesh with different properties for different boundaries. The tutorial also demonstrates the available methods for adding boundary layers around corners, and the setup of mesh plots for assessing the element quality. The other tutorial in the series demonstrates how to add a boundary layer mesh to an imported mesh, how to refine an imported mesh, how to insert the boundary layer mesh, how to control the element growth rate from the boundary to the interior.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
