Hello all,
I am having issues with incomplete boundaries formed when I apply seperate mesh parameters to two parts. This mesh size difference is required due to the size of the part and fluid transfer taking place in the pipes (it's a cold plate).
This incomplete boundary means that there is almost no thermal transfer between the two parts as the meshes don't actually touch the majority of the time.
Both parts are meshed with different parameters in both relative and absolute terms but with zero minimum cell size, and done via 'update', so my belief was that they should follow a common boundary.
Is there a technique I should use to ensure consistent boundaries with the seperate mesh parameters?
Below are a couple of images. The X-section shows a clear disconnect between the two meshes, and the coloured plot shows the blue general boundary that has suceeded between the two parts.
Any help is greatly appreciated, as I have spent many hours trying to solve this issue!!
Thank you,
Update: I have managed to get the two meshes to match by relaxing settings around critical angle, curvature resolution, merge tolerance and refining cells next to boundary cells.
Still there seems to be no thermal transfer across the boundary, except in very small, occasional patches. I have updated the model - so it should have updated the boundary.
Any suggestions?
