I am testing NACA 0012 airfoil and comparing my results with experimental data.
The lift coefficient results were very accurate (below 5%) but my drag coefficient values are not accurate enough (25%). I want to make it below 5%. These are my fluent setting: - Viscous (SST k-omega) - For solution method, i tested with 'Coupled', 'SIMPLE' and 'SIMPLEC' but not much difference (don't know the exact difference of them) - For solution initialization, Hybrid. Please can someone advise me what to do? |
