If you want to model the body moving through the open atmosphere then a big enclosure box (because it reduces proximity effects). If you want to model the body in an enclosed space like a wind tunnel then model the wind tunnel as the enclosure.

Yes it does. It is one of the basic checks you need to do for far-field simulations. When your boundaries are too close it will cause an error in the simulation by artificially constraining the flow.
