Lift Distribution over wing surface

PRANAVANATHAN · November 24, 2018, 13:31

Hi!
I am a beginner to ansys ICEM CFD.I want to find the spanwise lift distribution over wing surface for my academic project work.The step starts with finding pressure over top and bottom surface of the wing.And this has to go with analyzing pressure distribution over different location of span.
This can be done by finding pressure coefficient by defining different points on the wing surface.

My question is in flow field how flow parameters can be determined at a point.
How to define that point of interest where flow parameters have to be determined ??
And how to see the solution ??

Sounds like you want to fly while you are still learning how to crawl. ICEM is a mesher. ICEM won't give you anything other than a mesh. You need a solver like Fluent or CFX.

Do some tutorials or whatever so you can hit the calculate button and get a solution. Once you get here, then you can come back and ask how to create a plot.
