Hi guys, what is the value to put in lRref and Aref when i define forceCoeffs? From OF' s libraries I've see that lRef is referred to lenght scale for moment but I don't understand on what I have to base. And for Aref

and other question...the direction of drag is the opposite of flux, right? If this is true, for the tutorial airfoil2D because I have an angle of attack of 8° positive and then the y component of U is positive, the dragdir for me is (-cos8 -sin8 0). Is it right?
