2D airfoil Cl and Cd are too high
I’m new to CFD and I’m having a problem with Cl and Cd being too large. I’m running a steady state 2D airfoil with the following settings. I'm assuming there is a problem with the ref values but I have set them up the way I have read how to. Any thought would be great

check that your grid scale is ok. if your results are way out this can be a factor.

How do I check the grid scale?
|
from the menu, Mesh -> Scale
you need to check the extents of your domain that they match up the size. Otherwise you will need to expand or contract using the scaling factors. |
Thank you mbell10, I checked the scale between Gridgen and Fluent and the scale was off. I corrected it and started recalculating the solution and it seems to be heading in the right direction. Thanks again!
