henna07 is on a distinguished road
Hi all

I am simulating airflow around a 50 mm square cylinder in a wind tunnel. In a 2D simulation it is very easy to get the lift and drag coefficients but I need to do a 3D analysis as well. The main point of the 3D analysis is to measure the lift and drag coefficients at different points along the span of the cylinder. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!
