3D 90 degree elbow
First mesh face using Quad, Submap, then mesh volume.
Interval size: 0.001
Take too much time.
Fail, only mesh the faces
2nd mesh face using Quad, Submap (interval size 0.005), only Stair steps option are available for mesh volume (interval size 0.001).
Workable. Maybe not... still too long...
Use Quad Submap 0.005, use stair steps 0.005. Get result.
In Fluent:
Use K-e model. Use liquid water. Set inlet = -39.9 in x direction
Got the mesh. Now need to compare.
Mesh 5 is the good one! The velocity vector compares ok with the data. The difference might be due to our mesh not refine enough causes truncation error.
