OpenFOAM cfMesh tutorial: cartesian mesh + refinement zones + inflation layers

[@Charitha870620]

snappyHexMesh waisted time too much. this video is great and simply explained. Thank you very much for your kind effort.

Thanks for contribution! Nice clip to get familiar with cfMesh ;)

Great, glad you liked it! I hope it was helpful

Hi, thanks for the tutorial. I am interested to create baffles using cfMesh but I havent managed to find any page explaining that. I am wondering if you can help me.

[@TerragonCFD]

Nice overview, thank you :)

Hey man thanks... how do you refine only one direction. Is it possible to have cellsizeX, cellsizeY or cellsizeZ ?

[@TerragonCFD]

you should ask @Interfluo 🙂@@midjiyawazakari12

[@cronos864]

very nice and useful video. May I ask if you have found a way to set a minimum thickness for the first layer? I am having some troubles with cfMesh giving me some way to thin layers. Controlling this is pretty simple with snappyHexMesh so I am kinda confused to the situation with cf.

Does box in objectRefinements need to be within the domain? Can I specify a sphere that contains the region needing refinement along with some empty region? Thank you!!

[@interfluo6420]

good question, I would assume that the domain would be refined where the refinement zone intersects the domain and that anything outside of it would be ignored. I haven't tried it, so let me know if you do, good luck!

Does cfmesh work well for organic shapes as well?

[@interfluo6420]

Yes, if you look inside the cfmesh tutorials they have examples with more complex shapes. I think that one of the examples is meshing a bunny

How to install cfMesh?
