stokesy is on a distinguished road
Hi I'm struggling to find the coefficient of lift on the airfoil im simulating in underwater conditions. The only change I can see to make is the density of water surrounding the airfoil but when changing this, this makes the output coefficient off by this factor. Is this correct? I can't believe it is, and struggling for accurate results. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
