Good day.

To calibrate the calculations, we performed a test calculation of the drag coefficient and resistance force for bodies of a simple shape.
Cylinder - 0.77
Cylinder by face - 1
Cube - 1.17
Square plate 1.84
Hemisphere by face 0.67
Hemisphere 0.66
Sphere 0.066
Airfoil 0.07

Flow 3 m/sec2
Case prepared in CfdOF for FreeCad

Drag coefficient is about 15% above average published experimental values
Airfoil have the same coefficient as sphere.

Calibration it is need for catamarans hulls hydrodynamic passports.
Any advice for more accurate calibration is really appreciated.
