SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the "Near Wall Element Size" specification in ANSYS TurboGrid, which includes three methods: 1-absolute, 2-y+, and 3-normalized. The 1-absolute method requires an absolute cell size at the wall, such as 0.001 m. The 2-y+ method adjusts the cell size to achieve a specific y+ value, with y+=1 for fully resolved walls and y+=30 for turbulence wall functions. The 3-normalized method uses a relative value based on a characteristic length scale, such as a pipe length of 2 m, translating a value of 0.001 to a cell size of 0.002 m at the wall.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of ANSYS TurboGrid software
  • Knowledge of mesh generation techniques
  • Familiarity with y+ values in computational fluid dynamics
  • Basic concepts of turbulence modeling
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "ANSYS TurboGrid Near Wall Element Size settings"
  • Study "y+ value significance in CFD simulations"
  • Explore "mesh generation techniques for turbulence modeling"
  • Learn about "best practices for wall function implementation in CFD"
USEFUL FOR

Engineers and researchers working with ANSYS TurboGrid, computational fluid dynamics practitioners, and anyone involved in optimizing mesh settings for turbulence modeling in simulations.

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.
