April 13, 2018, 13:17	Lift coefficient and drag coefficient when using symmetry	#1
lauren111f1 New Member Lauren Join Date: Apr 2018 Posts: 3 Rep Power: 8	Hi, If I make a 3D wing using symmetry (so only half of the wing is tested) using ANSYS Fluent, does this mean I should double the lift coefficient and drag coefficient if I need results for the entire wing? Thanks!
