Hello,
I'm a new user of openfoam and i'm just started my journey with cfd, so my questions might be easy to solve, but i need some help.
I'm trying to validate 2D flow around cylinder and find Drag coefficient. I selected case for Re=1, so Cd should be around 10. Unfortunately i obtained value about 4. I used k omegaSST turbulence model.

I set nu to value 10, because radius of my cylinder is 0.5 m and flow velocity is 20 m/s, so nu should be equal to 10.
I'm not sure about my boundary conditions k and omega:

The problem is, that drag coefficient decrease in every time step
k

FoamFile
{
version 2.0;
format ascii;
class volScalarField;
location "0";
object k;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

dimensions [0 2 -2 0 0 0 0];

internalField uniform 0.01;

boundaryField
{
inlet
{
type fixedValue;
value uniform 0.01;
}
outlet
{
type zeroGradient;
}
wall1
{
type zeroGradient;
}
wall2
{
type zeroGradient;
}
ball
{
type zeroGradient;
}
frontAndBackPlanes
{
type empty;
}
}

and omega

I attached some pictures for velocity around ball (after 200, 2000 and 4000 iterations). As you can see after 4000 there is a high range of low velocity close to the cylinder.
Doy you have any ideas how to improve this simulation
