Hi!

For flow around cylinder at different reynold numbers, can simpleFoam give accurate lift coefficient ? For Re 200, the lift coefficient calculated by simpleFoam in my case is very low as compared to 0.7-0.8 in literature. I want to know how simpleFoam works for vortex shedding, why is it capturing vortex shedding with time even thoguh it's a steady solver and whether the lift coeffcient calculated through simpleFoam is accurate or not.
I can't use icoFoam since it's taking too long.
Please guide

Thanks
