Dear members

I am currently doing some work on LES of a wing. I am using GAMBIT for meshing.

I have three separate issues which are quite broad in their scope actually. I would like to know if anybody has done some similar work or maybe able to help me guide as to

1.How to approach the problem,
2.What are going to be the crirical areas or problems i may encounter, and
3.What results shoiuld i be expecting or i can extract after doing this LES.

I have made a 3D mesh which is 5% of the chord spanwise. The domain is very small (1 times chord up and down, 3 times chord towards the rear and 0.5 times chord at front) i know this is unrealistic but the problem is that still the mesh size is very large (5.5 million). Plz tell me any techniques in which it can be reduced without compromising the accuracy.

I am running this case in fluent rite now and would like to know that after the runs are complete, what post processing i shud do or what results i shud see. For instance i want to see the point where flow separation occurs on the wing, but dont know how to do it in fluent. I also want to see the eddies forming in the turbulent region but dont know how i can do that. What else useful academic information can i get in specific relation to my work.

Also the wing is swept back.

i will be thankful for any help....
