pressure coefficient greater than one

ajayvarma5 · February 23, 2016, 02:10

Im using fluent for analyzing flow on a 2d wing. my flow speeds are around 30m/s . solver settings are : pressure based, k-w SST, boudary conditions are
velocity inlet , pressure outlet,top(wall),bottom(wall),aerofoil (wall). i have done modeling in icem cfd with 7lakh quad mesh and i have used farfield distance for about 5 times of the chord due to computational constraints. i m having problem with increase in the angle of attack.that is pressure coeffiecient value is going higher than that of 1 when i increase my angle to 4 degree. can someone pls help me

Check your reference values. Make sure you have specified the correct reference velocity, length, etc.
