We would like to have more elements in the region very close to the flate plate and less elements in the far field. In order to do this, we must bias the edge sizing. First, click on Edge Sizing 2, then click on Bias Type and set it to the first option as shown below.



Next, set the Bias Factor to 70 as shown below. The Bias Factor is defined in this case to be the ratio of the longest division and the shortest division. That is, the last division will be one hundred times longer than the length of the first division.



Now, the biasing needs to be specified for the right side of the geometry. In order to incorporate the biasing on the right side a new Edge Sizing needs to be implemented. First, (Click) Mesh Control > Sizing. Then, select and apply the left side of the geometry. Then, change Type to Number of Divisions and set Number of Divisions to 60. Next, set Behavior to Hard and set Bias Type to the second option, as shown below.



Then, set the Bias Factor to 70. Lastly, click Update to generate the new mesh. You should obtain the following mesh.
