Refinement of 2D airfoil simulations about amr-wind HOT 6 CLOSED

amrex currently doesn't support that (to the best of my knowledge). It is unfortunate that we don't have a true "2D" capability in amr-wind. We should probably add that to the backlog...

@ET14 , what happens when you try to refine your simulation using the standard refinement in a 2D mesh?

from amr-wind.

@tonyinme Then it cannot handle the single grid point in the y-direction when it tries to refine. The simulation does not crash, but all residuals are just zero.

@ET14 , thanks for explaining.
@mbkuhn suggested that you can try running with 2 cells in the y direction and set the blocking factor in that direction to 2.
That should be an almost 2D problem :) The gradients in the y direction should be zero, so I would not expect the code to do anything in that direction.

This issue is stale because it has been open 30 days with no activity.

@ET14 can you provide an update here or close this issue? thanks!
