hi everyone,
I'm focusing on solving an AIRFOIL NACA 0006 in 2D, I have to find the correct Coefficient of DRUG and LIFT, but after several times I haven't get the clue yet. I've got a section angle of attack about -4 degrees, which means according to the tables a value for Cl=-0.4,-0.5 and Cd=0.010,0.014 i suppose?! (CORRECT ME IF IS WRONG, PLEASE) I'm using this function objects for the calculation of the Coeffs:: functions { forces { type forceCoeffs; functionObjectLibs ("libforces.so"); outputControl timeStep; outputInterval 1; patches (profiloalare); pName p; UName U; rhoName rhoInf; log true; rhoInf 1.2; liftDir (0.069756474 0.99756405 0); dragDir (0.99756405 -0.069756474 0); //liftDir (0 1 0); //dragDir (1 0 0); CofR (1.0375 0 0); pitchAxis (0 0 -1); magUInf 21.6867; lRef 4.15; Aref 4.15; } } I think I'm using a good mesh, (i used youtube videos to create the best mesh possible) I settled all the named section, wall for the airfoil, inlet and outlet for the edges. I had post as system settings: divSchemes { default none; div(phi,U) bounded Gauss linearUpwind grad(U); div(phi,nuTilda) bounded Gauss linearUpwind grad(nuTilda); div((nuEff*dev2(T(grad(U))))) Gauss linear; } relaxationFactors { fields { p 0.3; } equations { U 0.7; nuTilda 0.7; } } simulationType RAS; RAS { RASModel SpalartAllmaras; turbulence on; printCoeffs on; } transportModel Newtonian; rho [1 -3 0 0 0 0 0] 1.2; nu [0 2 -1 0 0 0 0] 1.5e-05; I launch the simpleFoam, but in the end my coefficient are SO WRONG! and i don't know why! I said the should be Cl=-0.4,-0.5 and Cd=0.010,0.014, but mine values are about Cl=-0.83 and Cd=0.027. Anyone has any suggestion, please?? |
