I'm trying to perform a transient simulation of flow around an airfoil.
The simulation is at Re=50000 with an incompressible fluid. As expected i found oscillatory drag and lift coefficients due to the beginning of von karman vortexes phoenomena. I'm performing different simulation maintaining the Re=50000, but changing parameters like material's viscosity and density, and velocity inlet, to analyze the sensitivity of these drag and lift coefficients. I supposed that at same Reynolds and same shape of the airfoil, these coefficients are almost constant (reading some paper i found tabulated values for differently shaped airfoils). Actually happens that increasing the velocity by a factor 10 ^2 these coefficients are scaled by the same factor. How can I explain this behaviour? Thank you very much for the help, I can't find a logical explanation. |
