Modelling a winglet in BlueCFD

Amandine · February 7, 2014, 08:49

Hello everyone

I'm working on a project to optimise a winglet and I'm not sure what king of model I have to use.

I'm looking for an Euler modelisation in Mach 0.8 so I know I have to work with a compressible model and I think RhoCentralFoam has already been used for a winglet but I'm not sure and I don't know which one I have to choose.
Could you please help me find the right model please?

rhocentralFoam is a good choice,

watch out here:

Thank you I already know that article but in "rhoCentralfoam" there are several files and I don't know which one to use.
Moreover those models are made with a simple geometry and I need to import my winglet.obj and it doesn't work I can't see anything in ParaFoam.
