[Nek5000-users] Specifying boundary condition for Annulus Geometry in box file

[nek5000-users at lists.mcs.anl.gov]

Thanks Katie and Tubois for your response.
That clarifies my doubts. I am able to generate (although fairly coarse)
mesh using boxes with annulus geometry for cylinder and merge them with
rectangular mesh boxes. I am working on to get the desired mesh refinement.

Regards
Ravi
