remi_fr is on a distinguished road
Hello,
I'm making an analysis of a NACA 0012 airfoil in 2D in a flow of water. I compare my results (drag and lift coefficients) with experiments.
My problem is that my results are different by approximately 40% of the true values.
The mesh is good, I'm using the K-epsilon turbulence model, the Reynolds number is 2.88 10^6

Do you have any idea from where my error can result?
thank you
