mihylee is on a distinguished road
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?

You appear to be using Fluent. Try the fluent forum.
