• Surface Meshing:<br />

o BPs determine where and to what level to refine surface<br />

meshes.<br />

• Volume Meshing:<br />

o Polyhedral meshing (BT) contributes enormously to ease<br />

of volume-mesh generation, accuracy and robustness of<br />

the CFD solution. BPs determine where and to what level to<br />

refine volume meshes. Surface extrusions (BP) are a<br />

necessity for boundary-layer resolution.<br />

o<br />

Multi-Domain meshing (BT) is essential for certain types<br />

of Multi-physics analysis such as conjugate-heat-transfer<br />

(CHT) and fluid-structure interaction (FSI). BPs determine<br />

which domain requires what level of volume meshing.<br />

Continuous and fully connected meshes (BP) ease solver<br />

issues between the multiple domains/physics. See<br />

examples in Fig. 4.5.6.3.<br />

• Analysis:<br />

o Best Practices determine best use of mesh types,<br />

discretisation practices, physical model practices, and<br />

boundary conditions. Dependency analyses are always<br />

encouraged to evaluate, verify and validate the modelling<br />

practices.<br />
