        Learn how to use Flow360's built-in meshing tools to generate high-quality meshes directly from geometry.

Key Meshing Concepts
===================

* Understanding mesh resolution requirements for different flow features
* Optimizing mesh density for accuracy and computational efficiency
* Best practices for boundary layer resolution (y+ considerations)

Mesh Quality Guidelines
======================

Flow360 performs best with meshes that meet these quality criteria:

* **First cell height:** Appropriate y+ values based on your turbulence model
* **Growth rate:** Recommended between 1.1-1.2 in boundary layers
* **Resolution:** Adequate refinement in high-gradient regions

Benefits of Good Meshing
========================

* Improved solution accuracy
* Faster convergence
* More reliable results
* Better capture of complex flow phenomena
* Efficient use of computational resources
