<p style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0">Thanks for the suggestions. Merging the meshes seems like it could work, although for a mesh with more complex geometry and many surfaces I imagine doing things that way would become very messy and complicated.<br>

Essentially what I would like to do is refine the mesh in areas where I expect the flow will have a smaller length scale. Something like this:</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, "EmojiFont", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols;">

The caveat is that I would like for the mesh to be structured. I've looked into size fields but my understanding is that they only work for unstructured meshes.
<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, "EmojiFont", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols;">

Likewise, I don't see any way I can accomplish this by increasing transfinite resolutions. If I increase the transfinite resolution of a given curve, then my understanding is that this will increase the number of elements on both sides of the curve - but I
would only like to increase the number of elements on only one side of the curve.<br>

In any case, I'll look into the mesh partitions and see what I can get anywhere with those.</div>

<div>Hello Aaron, <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is kind of a dumb way, but taking your question literally, I made two separate mesh files, refining just one and then merged them with these geo commands:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Merge "mesh1.msh";</div>
<div>Merge "mesh2.msh";</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This method however discards the geometry. The weird part is at the boundary between the two; what should happen there for flow simulations, etc?

</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Personally, for a real problem I would either increase the transfinite resolution on the lines I wanted to be more refined or add a size field (area with a different mesh refinement). The documentation has more information on these options. Perhaps using
mesh partitions could work as well? I'm not really sure what those are to be honest but it sounds like similar idea.</div>

<div>When I press "refine by splitting", the number of elements in each square is doubled. I was wondering if there is a way to apply "refine by splitting" to the top square only, so that the number of elements in the top square is doubled, while the number
of elements in the bottom square doesn't change. How might I go about doing this?</div>
