    We will use the tetrahedra and wedges (boundary layer) mesh scheme for this model. This scheme generates layers of wedge elements at the exterior surfaces of the model. The interior of the model will be meshed with tetrahedra elements. Use this scheme for fluid flow models to calculate the flow near the walls properly .
