Hi,

i've got a problem i want to calculate the Drag coefficient of a Plate. I tried it in 3D but it didn'nt work, now i try it in 2D but without success. I use Fluent 6.2.16 and Gambit.
The Fluent settings that i used, ke Modell, 3m/s inlet velocity, reference value see in picture. Dimensions of the plate are 0,25m x 0,15m x 0,005m.

In literature the plate has a cd of nearly 1,1 but in fluent nearly 3 how is this possible and what do i do wrong? Have anybody got a tutorial or an example of an drag coefficient calculation for me? The Fluent tutorial 3 doesn't really help.
