Cl-alpha, 3d airfoil problem.
I am trying to determine dCl/d(alpha) for a 3d airfoil however Cl is barely changing (0.38-0.42) as I vary alpha (0-10 degrees), any help?
I only need preliminary results so my mesh is fairly coarse. Thanks. |
If you are reporting Cl from the monitors, are you sure your reference values are correct?
If that's not it, I'd try refining your mesh first. |
My reference values are good, Fluent is simply underestimating the force produced by the airfoil as it changes angles. I also forgot to mention that my first mesh refinement did not fix the problem.
I am very closely following the 2D wing tutorials, at this point my wing is just a 2D airfoil that has been extruded. |
