Recirculation zone over airfoil in SST model -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

March 29, 2011, 07:00	Recirculation zone over airfoil in SST model	#1
Nick R Senior Member Nick Join Date: Nov 2010 Posts: 126 Rep Power: 15	Hi everyone, I've run a simulation at Re=120000 over a thick airfoil using the SST model. The solution converges and in the post I can see a re-circulation zone towards the trailing edge. I was wondering whether this is due to a turbulent boundary layer separation or laminar. Does the plain SST (no transition) mean the entire foil has undergone a turbulent boundary layer and its separation in this case? Regards, Nick
