hi karthik,
for 2D models i have used unit area as frontal area. Not sure if that is correct. Or you can use the actual area and make sure you mention it. dont you have any measurements of force values for validation? |

hi sai
i don't have any values for validation....if i use the actual area (reduced area-exluding the hole region), then the Cd value increases....if i use the frontal area(which i used when there r no holes, the Cd decreases)... i'm not sure what to use...i'll talk to my professor and tell u... meanwhile, anybody having any idea...pls help me... thanks... regards karthik |
