Hi!

I'm quite new to OpenFOAM and am running into some issues when trying to run a 2D simulation of a NACA0012 airfoil under laminar, incompressible conditions. I'm using blockMesh to perform the mesh and a Reynold's number of 10,000. I cannot seem to get anything but very refined meshes to converge, and even those more refined meshes won't converge under an angle of attack of even as high as 5deg. I have to perform a mesh sensitivity study so I do need to have coarser meshes running also. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! I have attached all the files below, and an image of the mesh.

Thanks!

Sorry I should've also mentioned, I'm using the simpleFoam solver!

I am not sure how to help you.

I assume you have seen OpenFoam airfoil tutorials, see e.g. https://www.openfoam.com/documentati...irfoil-2d.html

Where exactly are you getting stuck?

Do you want to start running simulation of potentiaFoam (easier to obtain convergence)
