Solution not accurate, can't figure it out

Frozenguy · March 8, 2015, 00:56

I am a student learning to use Ansys and cannot explain my lack of accuracy.

I have modeled a NACA 0012 airfoil. Lots of published data on this so I can compare.

I am getting Cl of 0.72 when I should get Cl of ~0.45

My mesh orthogonally quality is about 0.44.

I am running inviscid, with energy equation on.
fluid is air and is ideal-gas-law for what I assume is 'compressible' because I'm running at a mach 0.4 at 4 deg AoA.

Is my problem in mesh or in my solution set up?

Thank you for your help!

Peter

If you're still stuck with this, please, post some images of the mesh and model for better understanding.
