XFlow Naca 0012 Validation

Mythorpios · June 27, 2016, 06:48

Hello. I am trying to validate XFlow results. I have started with analyzing NACA 0012 for Re 3000000. I have generated 3D NACA 0012 with 10k points,and analyzed in 2D. I could not get close results to the experimental airfoil data. I used 0.2 resolved scale, around 0.0003m target resolved scale and 0.004m wake resolution. It took 1.5 hours but not a valid result. How can I increase accuracy or what can be wrong about my approach? Thank you

you have 10k nodes or cells? either way, your mesh sounds much too coarse for this analysis.

what do your wall y+ values look like and what turbulence & wall models are you using?
