Calculating drag coefficient from Fluent -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

Richard Guest Posts: n/a	Can any one tell me how to calculate drag coefficient from Fluent on the 2-D airfoil. I have done this using wall force(from fluent display) taking X-direction normalforce + x-direction shear force divide by 0.5u*2 but i end up getting the wrong result. Could any one tell me if this is the right approach.
