Hi,
I have problems setting the correct Re no. for my simulation. I want to simulate a plunging airfoil at Re=10000. Since viscosity of air = 1.7894e-5, density of air=1.225, Re = u_inf*density*length/viscosity. So to get Re=10000, I set u_inf=0.17894 m/s I also set the reference value under the report menu. My airfoil length is about 1m, which is the reference length. Is this correct? Did I miss out anything? My answer is different from some published results. |
