Hello,
Now I am simulating 2D-NACA 0012 with 0-degree angle of attack. I get drag coefficient is 10 times higher than the practical result. The simulation is 5e-2 and the practical is 6.7e-3. Do you have any suggestion to improve it? Thanks

1.make sure about grid independence
2.set references value correctly
3.make sure about turbulent model that choose correctly depend on your simulation

My mesh get very good with skwewness 0.3 and orthogonal Quality 0.6 and 95000 nodes. The lift coefficient is mosly zero but I still cannot get the correct drag coefficent. Do you have any detail suggestion?
