First, we tried to make the grid with StarCd but some difficulties appeared. Then, Gambit was used in order to perform the grid.
The grid with
StarCd
There were any difficulties to make
the grid. It was very quick if we use the following window.
We make Generate Mesh and we have got the grid :
We remark that there is a double line across the section. When StarCd builds the grid between 0 and 360 degrees, the 360 section finishes with a wall. Consequently, we have a recirculation near this wall.
Finally, we
decided to use Gambit in order to build the geometry and the grid.
The grid with
Gambit
The build
of the grid with Gambit is very easy and quick. It is only a little bit
difficult to make the importation to StarCd.
You must to
write first GAMBIT and then the command LP(case.neu).
The geometry
is the following one :
- Rinterior = 0.6 m
- Rexterior = 1 m
- Height = 0.1 m
The meshing
is :
- 18 meshes across a section
- 180 meshes with theta
- 2 meshes with the height
We obtain the following grid :
The 3 following graphs show the 3 boudary conditions.

Exterior wall without celocity
