Hello ,



I am analysing 2D NACA0012 airfoil . My solver is pimpleFoam . Reynold number is 1500000 and yplus value is 1 ( probably this can be wrong). Turbulence model is k-omega SST but also tried other models (spalartallmaras and k-epsilon) .My mesh type is hybrid triangle mesh I also tried c-mesh. Unfortunateley , I always get high drag coefficient value in every different attemp at 0 degree angle of attack. Experimental result is 0.01 but I always get the value of 0.1. When I increase my yplus value , I get faster solution but there is no change in drag coefficient as always. What are your advices ? I am amateur in openfoam , maybe there is a huge fault but I didnt find yet.



these are my system files ;
