prakashPra is on a distinguished road
I am running simulation for 2D airfoil NACA0015 using simpleFoam. I am getting approximate half the values of Cl for various angle of attack. When I halve the value of area I get the correct result of Cl. I am confused what I am doing wrong. I am attaching condition for angle of attack 6 deg and Re10^5. Please guide me through it.
