Hi,

I have been trying to validate a profile of high cambered in Re=300000. I have been using the soft CFX, with hexa mesh(y+ <3), the model SST with Gamma Theta Model plus Transition Model Revision = 0.

I have had good results for Cl but i am still having some difficulties with the Cd.

how could i improve this result?

Ps.: I'm a student from BRAZIL.

Vc está comparando com dados experimetais? e suas condições de contorno?

Sim! estou comparando com os dados da UIUC do perfil Selig1223, e com os dados fornecidos pelo programa xfoil. As condições de contorno são as seguintes: INLET - Cartesian Velocity Components TURBULENCE:

Eddy Length Scale = 0.305 [m](corda do aerofoil)

Fractional Intensity = 0.009

Option = Intensity and Length Scale OUTLET:

Option = Average Static Pressure

Relative Pressure = 0 [Pa]

END

PRESSURE AVERAGING:

Option = Average Over Whole Outlet AEROFOIL: WALL - no slip e SYMMETRY para as laterais. Tenho dúvidas com relação a turbulência no Inlet, e o Length Scale, pelo PDF do UIUC a turbulencia usado no túnel de vento seria de 0,1%, mas para esse valor não consegui obter bons resultados.

Try these settings:

BOUNDARY: Inlet

Boundary Type = INLET

Location = Inlet

BOUNDARY CONDITIONS:

FLOW REGIME:

Option = Subsonic

END

MASS AND MOMENTUM:

Option = Cartesian Velocity Components

U = XX.X [m s^-1]

V = YY.Y [m s^-1]

W = 0 [m s^-1]

END

TURBULENCE:

Option = Medium Intensity and Eddy Viscosity Ratio

END

END

END

BOUNDARY: Outlet

Boundary Type = OUTLET

Location = Outlet

BOUNDARY CONDITIONS:

FLOW REGIME:

Option = Subsonic

END

MASS AND MOMENTUM:

Option = Average Static Pressure

Relative Pressure = 0 [Pa]

END

PRESSURE AVERAGING:

Option = Average Over Whole Outlet

END

END

END

BOUNDARY: Symmetry1

Boundary Type = SYMMETRY

Location = Symmetry1

END

BOUNDARY: Symmetry2

Boundary Type = SYMMETRY

Location = Symmetry2
