Resolving Boundary Layers with Unstructured Quad and Hex Meshing: On-Demand Webinar

31 Mar 2021 • Less than one minute read

All things being equal, CFD practitioners prefer to use hexahedral mesh cells in the boundary layer for the improved robustness and accuracy they bring to the flow solver. Traditionally, a hex grid would be created using a structured grid technique (aka mapped mesh) but these can require too much manual intervention to generate efficiently. Unstructured quad and hex meshing techniques provide the best of both worlds: unstructured flexibility and speed, and hex cell quality.

In this on-demand webinar, we highlight four features available in Pointwise.

  • unstructured quad meshing of the geometry model
  • automated outer boundary creation
  • unstructured, near-wall hex layer generation
  • cell clustering inside the volume mesh using sources
