6.4 Non-Conformal Meshes

In ANSYS FLUENT it is possible to use a mesh that has non-conformal interfaces, that is, boundaries between cell zones in which the mesh node locations are not identical. Such non-conformal interfaces permit the cell zones to be easily connected to each other by passing fluxes from one mesh to another. The principle requirement is that the boundary zones that comprise the non-conformal interface must overlap either partially or fully. (This requirement does not apply to non-conformal periodic boundaries.)
