Hi guys,
I am running simulations of NACA0012 air foil single blade in 3D. When I calculate lift coefficient I have know the reference area. What is the reference area in different AOA? Is it always chord length times height? Thank you |

Reference area does not change with angle of attack. for a straight constant chord section the area will be chord * span.
