Hi All;

I am trying to simulate the flow over a circular cylinder in FLUENT. At Re=400 I am tring to show that the solution is grid independent. I want compare the mean drag coefficients but my simulation gives me a drag coefficient of 1.5 where the experimental data is 1.2-1.25. how can I improve my solution. I am using second order for everyting and the coupled solver.
