I'm trying to simulate the flow over a 2D airfoil in Fluent. The solver is steady with k-omega SST model.

At different angles of attack, the value of Cd i get is always correct but value of CL is always half the value calculated from experimental results. I have set Cl and Cd force vectors correctly and reference area is set to 1 as chord length is 1m.

Can someone tell me where can the fault be?
