Anton21 is on a distinguished road
I was running a simulation of a 3d wing, with simpleFoam at a speed of 20m/s
and wanted to compare the Cd and Cl values, however the values turned out to be around a Cd of 49, which isn't accurate. I already tried using a finer mesh, but the values changed only by a small margin.
But in general the results looked okay, and a also the Cl/Cd ratio. So I think it has something to do with the scaling. Anton
