MESHING turbulent pipe flow

I know that my model has different measures and different data so it doesnt make sense to compare them.

As i told you and as you can see in the pictures, I am using a copy of the model of the validation case. (it is not my model). This is my unique way to ensure that the y+ figured on the documentation is the same in the model.

this is the values of the documentation

And this is the values i can obtain of the model used in the documentation

Why do i have this difference?where is the error? how can i obtain the values of the documentation?

Thanks

Please share the project link.

This one is different from your previous project, you have copied it.

I am going to start to explain again cause i think you dont understand me.

My project is similar but different in some aspects of the one which there is on the documentation. I tried first at the beginning based on it but i couldnt find a proper mesh with a proper y+.

So, at the moment i am trying to validate the model of the documentation (yes, i copied) with the data which there are on your documentation.

this is the link of the project i copied and i obtained my pictures

If you check the y+ here (or in my pictures) is diferent compared with the values of the documentation.

Why?

I hope I explained myself well

Thanks

I need the project link originally created by you, if you have created one for this purpose.

What changes you made after copying the project created by @anon5587084 ? Because i find no changing in both the projects.

I didn’t change anything, just to check the y+ at the prostprocessing and i didnt obtain the same values of the documentation, this is my question? why dont i have the same values if it is the model of the documentation?

Ok, let me check

Here, i am just able to justify the y+ of first two simulations with the validation case.



For full resolution yplus, i am little confused how to check the y+ value as in the validation case.

Hi @andrea_perez,

You have to check the results for the last iteration. Just click on the black arrow…

@jousefm, Her issues with the mesh are not when copying a project from another user, but when duplicating a Simulation within her project. On that duplicated simulation she wants to create a different mesh from the same geometry but with different resolution; though she might be overwriting the one mesh she has instead of creating a new one. This of course would affect her other simulations within the project, and that’s not what she intends. At least that’s what I understand. If that’s the case @andrea_perez, you have to create a new mesh.

Just click on the mesh and you’ll see a display showing the available meshes you have and options to create a new one from scratch o copy the settings from a previous one (The chain link symbol is telling you that the mesh is being used in another Simulation).

@HamzaBaig, Her mesh setting are not creating any prism layers. The issue is either on the absolute/relative sizing option and on the size values. That’s what I would be looking at.

Layer size disabled means that you will be defining absolute sizes for the prism layers. When enabled, will use the values as a factor based on the local surface size.

So, you are using absolute size. That’s ok. Only problem I see is the Expasion ratio. The value must be > 1. That’s why you are not getting any layers. Also, for this very simple geometry, don’t be afraid to go for 8-16 layers and use a complete pipe (avoiding symmetry).

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Pablo.

I have checked the result at last iteration but i was having the result at a cutting plane somewhere in mid pipe length.

If you look at @andrea_perez’s snapshots, you’ll see that they are showing the results for the initial 0 iteration. No wonder that at iteration 0 your results won’t match validation and hence the confusion.

Nothing to do with cutting plane at mid length or not.

Yeah, you are right @andrea_perez is having the result at the zero time, but i was having at the last step.
Yet, not able to have y+=1.24 as in the validation case for full resolution mesh i.e simulation 3 and 4 on this link.
Can you please explain how to do that.


Hi @andrea_perez!

If this is correct what @pfernandez says then you can just duplicate the simulation and create a new mesh instead of overwriting the new one. Is it clear how you can achieve that? If not then we can help you out for sure.

All the best!

Jousef

Yes, in terms of mesh, that is the conclusion I achieved yesterday.
Thanks!
