fixed circular cylinder for a steady flow in lamina regime: getting strange Cd values

virtuoso · January 15, 2015, 18:33

Hi guys! pls am working on control of flow around a fixed circular cylinder for a steady flow in lamina regime. i have tried to validate the value of the drag coefficient around the cylinder, i keep getting values like 0.012-0.224 with those of previous works that have been published to journal where they get Cd to be 1.31-1.52 . can i help on effective meshing how to set my physics right. to achieve this
