Although excellent agreement with experimental data in terms of wall pressure was obtained, the wall heat flux values (calculated using wallheatflux utility) turned out to be 1.5 times smaller. This is a large error considering the fact that the boundary layer was laminar in the experiment. Anybody had similar problems with wallheatflux? Calorically perfect air with viscosity described by Sutherland's law and Pr=0.72 was used. EDIT: problem is solved. Last edited by Le0nid; January 12, 2015 at 09:48.
