Step 7: Refine Mesh

It is very important to assess the dependence of your results on the mesh used by repeating the same calculation on different meshes and comparing the results. We will re-do the previous calculation on a 30 x 50 mesh as well as a 30 x 150 mesh and then compare the results with the 30x100 mesh used previously.

...

Mesh the inflow and outflow edges at a Successive Ratio of 1.095 and an Interval Count of 50.

Remesh the face and then export this as the 2D mesh file, plate50.msh.

...

Create a mesh that is finer than the original mesh to see if our original solution contained inaccuracies due to the mesh. Mesh the inflow and outflow edges at a Successive Ratio of 1.065 and an Interval Count of 150.

Remesh the face and then export this as the 2D mesh file, plate150.msh.
