Creation of Non-conformal Interface (Solution 796)

ƒ Intersected mesh is created using the two interface meshes and then used to
‘replace’ the original interface meshes.

+ „

ƒ Creation of intersected mesh is delicate, if fails, try the alternative schemes by using
either of the following Scheme commands:
(rpsetvar 'nonconformal/cell-faces 0)
(rpsetvar 'nonconformal/cell-faces 2)
The default is (rpsetvar 'nonconformal/cell-faces 1)
ƒ If the interface zones are of different sizes, selecting the smaller interface as Zone 1
is usually more robust
ƒ To create non-conformal interface which crosses periodic boundary, need to set the
following Scheme command first:
(rpsetvar 'nonconformal/allow-interface-at-periodic-boundary 0)
ƒ To improve accuracy and robustness:
• Maintain similar face element sizes at both interfaces
• Maintain good face mesh skewness at both interfaces
