Click For Summary
Increasing mesh density around the boundaries of the aircraft wing in a CFD simulation will enhance the accuracy of capturing forces like velocity and pressure on the velocity map and added streamlines. Higher mesh density is particularly beneficial in areas where the flow velocity changes rapidly. However, this improvement comes at the cost of longer simulation times. It is crucial to balance mesh density with computational resources to optimize results. Ultimately, refining the mesh can lead to more reliable CFD outcomes.

Im running a CFD simulation. Looking at improve my CFD simulation. my mesh is currently low density.

Q) Would increasing mesh density around the boundaries of the air craft wing capture the forces (velcoty & pressure) on my velocity map and added streamlines.

Yes, increasing the mesh density near the edges would increase the accuracy of the simulation. It will also slow down the simulation.
You need the greatest mesh density where the velocity of the flow changes fastest.
 

Thread 'What mathematics software should engineering students use?'

What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
