Hi all,

I'd like to simulate the flow over an infinite wing. For this purpose I created a rectangular domain and created part of the wing inside the domain. I have a problem setting the correct side walls (those that are parallel to the airfoil cross sections). If I set them as symmetry from what I understand it basically prevents spanwise flow normal to the sides walls which would not be realistic. Should I set them as periodic in order to simulate an infinite wing?
Please note that this is not a 2d problem.

I'd appreciate it, if you could give me the instructions in steps (I've never done a period BC (if this is what is needed). Thanks!
