Click For Summary
In Ansys Turbogrid, the Near Wall Element Size specification offers three methods: absolute, y+, and normalized. The absolute method sets the first cell size at the wall in fixed units, while the y+ method adjusts cell size to achieve a specific y+ value, which is crucial for turbulence modeling. The normalized method uses a relative value based on a characteristic length scale of the geometry. Understanding these methods is essential for achieving an effective mesh, particularly for turbulence simulations. Clarification on how Turbogrid calculates these values in relation to local flow conditions remains uncertain.

in ansys turbogrid i faced a setting that couldn't find out how it works and couldn't find an appropriate description for that.
Near Wall Element Size specification in mesh data object that has 3 methods(1-absolute 2-y+ 3-normalize)
i upload an image from software
if someone know anything about these please help me

thanks

I'm not familiar with turbogrid, but I'd say that for 1-absolute you give the size of the first cell at the wall in absolute numbers, e.g. 0.001 m.
if it is 2-y+, your cell size will be such that you obtain a certain y+ value at the wall, e.g. y+=1 for completely resolved wall or y+=30 if you are using turbulence wall functions. 3-normalized, you probably give a relative value based on some length scale, so if it is a pipe with a typical length scale of 2 m, then 0.001 will mean a 0.002 m cell size at the wall.
Having a mesh with a certain y+ value is preferred, but you need the local velocity for that, so the actual solution of the flow problem. I'm not sure how turbogrid knows how to do this.
 
Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
