Boundary layer mesh for flow in expanding pipe.
The boundary layer mesh in this example continuously varies in thickness axially and has different number of layers in each section. The shear layer was modeled by putting an artificial surface inside the large pipe and growing boundary layer elements on both sides of the surface.

Solution obtained by turbulent flow simulation performed on mesh with boundary layer elements. Boundary layer mesh has 6 anisotropic layers at the wall with a thickness of 0.05 and a total of 634001 elements (Simulation results courtesy Slimane Adjerids et. al.)
