chelvistero Member Axel Söhngen Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Germany, Trier Posts: 31 Rep Power: 16	Hello, I simulation a 2d airfoil with simpleFoam using OpenFoam 1.6.x . Now the question: The Span of the airfoil is 0.8m . so is it necessary to create the airfoil 0.8m in z axes to get the right lift and drag results? Does the third dimension play a role in 2d simulations for the drag and lift? Thanks in advance Axel
