Hello, i've got an error running flow simulation around an immersed monolith. i have run this simulation with a smooth monolith and it's working, but with the helix one it doesn't work.
I was thinking it was cause of the helix shape of the mesh but the preprocesor.log file is Ok
Have you an idea about the error ?

Re: mesh helix surface
Hello,
This is certainly a mesh quality issue, even though the classical quality "bad cell indicators" seem mostly OK. The fact that computing the wall distance needs disabling the reconstruction (see log) is a giveaway. Some cells might be too "flat" near the boundary.
Extruding the mesh at inlets/outlets and inserting a boundary cell layer (see mesh modification examples in documentation) might help a bit). If you can do that upstream with the meshing tool it is even better.
Best regards,
Yvan

Re: mesh helix surface
Thank you Yvan for your answer
I'll work on the mesh this week and keep you inform
