Abstract

Mesh generation is critical for obtaining accurate and detailed solutions to mesh-based numerical problems, particularly when capturing specific information within a designated area of the domain. While structured meshes offer consistency, their uniform resolution limits their ability to achieve this. Mesh stretching offers a solution by introducing non-uniform element sizes based on an analytical relationship while preserving the original mesh structure. The objective of this study is to create a hybrid mesh model that leverages the strengths of both structured and stretched meshes. A 2D rectangle with elbow edges serves as the domain. To address the requirements of CFD applications, the domain is refined by increasing element density near the boundaries and corners. Skewness, aspect ratio, and element quality are then assessed to determine the overall mesh quality. The results demonstrate that stretching the structured mesh produced a mesh with quality that meets CFD domain standards.
