Mesh query regarding open boundary FSI simulation

I've got a model in FSI which consists of two inlets to a central reservoir with a membrane on top.
When I use normal mesh settings, the mesh quality at the inlets is horrible.
Am I forgetting a boundary condition? Or is there something I can do regarding the mesh?
I apply simple open boundary conditions to the inlets.
See attached picture, I've filtered to show only the worst mesh quality,

any idea how to improve this mesh?

Hi

I beleive what you see is the boundary mesh limit, to make it mode dens, start meshing the inlets (and perhaps add the outlet), as a first tri boundary mesh, make it fine or extrremely fine, then leave COMSOL mesh "automaticall"y the rest with a reasonable resolution

Good luck
