Volume Mesh

The volume mesh represents the discretized computational domain in Flow360, where fluid flow phenomena are numerically solved.

A volume mesh in Flow360 consists of three-dimensional elements that discretize the computational domain. The mesh structure is defined by:

• Zones: Distinct regions within the volume mesh, each potentially governed by different physical models

• Boundaries: Surfaces that define the edges of computational domains and interfaces between zones

Mesh Requirements

Flow360 supports unstructured volume meshes with the following element types:

• Tetrahedrons

• Hexahedrons

• Prisms

• Pyramids
