Operation Toolpad > Geometry Command Button > Edge Command Button > Move/Copy Edges
Select the cylinder edges. Make sure that the Copy is checked. Under Operation, select Scale. Next to Factor, enter a value of 4. This mean means that the radius of influence we create will be 4 times the size of the cylinder.

Split Edges

We would like to have more mesh elements at the downstream of the flow, to the right of the cylinder. To accomplish this, we would have to split some edges.

Select appropriate edge one by one. For example, to create vertex H, we have to split the bottom edge.
