2D airfoil on StarCD -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

January 8, 2003, 13:16	2D airfoil on StarCD	#1
Carlos Saraiva Guest Posts: n/a	I'm trying to use Star-CD to determine the flow characteristics on an airfoil. Since StarCD is essencially based on 3D, I'm using only one element along the span so it can simulate a 2D flow. I'm wondering if this is the best way to obtain realistic results with small computacional effort and a small element number? I'm using inlet and outlet, for in and out. And for sides, top and bottom I'm using simmetry conditions... is this suitable if a big domain is used? Say 4-5 chords up and down, 6 chords to front and 15 chords to behind... If the chord is unitary what should be the size of the domain (even for a high angle of atack)? Anyone tried to do this?
