- Sometimes this occurs if the moving zones aren't adequately defined. In recent fluent editions you don't have to define the meanflow deforming zone. You just need to set the rigid body motion of the moving zone (the moving wall and/or a sourrounding moving fluid zone that includes the boundary layer, around the body, if turbulence modeling is employed). In addition, if there are edge zones recognized by fluent as borders between the rigid-deforming zones, they should also be introduced in the dynamic mesh zones panel as rigidly moving zones, according to the same udf.

The mesh check report will indicate if the mesh contains left-handed faces and/or faces that have the wrong node order. You must take steps to repair such meshes, since you cannot obtain a flow solution until all of the faces are right handed and have the proper node order.
If your mesh contains both left-handed faces and faces with the wrong node order, begin by repairing the node order with the following text command:
define boundary-conditions modify-zones repair-face-node-order
Since the left-handed faces may be a result of improper face node order, the previous text command may resolve both issues at the same time. Be sure to perform another mesh check after entering the repair-face-node-order command, to see if the mesh has been fully repaired.
If at any point the mesh check reveals that the mesh contains left-handed faces without any node order issues, you can attempt to repair the face handedness by modifying the cell centroids with the following text command:
define boundary-conditions modify-zones repair-face-handedness
Once again, perform a mesh check to see if the text command was successful. The repair-face-handedness text command is most effective for cells with high aspect ratios.
