Wing flow - Do not converge and negative drag

I am trying to study the invinscid flow around a wing with 5,8 degress of angle of attack at Mach 0,118.
Unfortunatly no one on my college can help me with cfd, so I had to come here because I can not get less than e-2 on my residuals. My max skewness is at 0,83. I kept everything as default, but made these changes: - invinscid - ideal-gas -energy equation on -density based -explicit -node based -operating pressure = 0 -farfield as "pressure farfield" -gauge pressure = 101325 -at some point I switched to implict method with Courant = 20 - when residuals stopped to drop I inserted Courant = 5 I would like to know what is wrong and if e-3 is a good criterion of convergence (along with the monitoring of Cd e Cl values when they don't change). I am getting negative Cd value. Why is it happening? Thank you, Ryvo Itail |
