osoucy is on a distinguished road
Suppose I want to solve for the turbulent flow past a three dimensional wing. The real physical length of the chord is 2 meters, but the grid has been scaled such that the chord is 1.0.

As such, I used the following setting:
CONVERT_TO_METER= 15.807

On the other hand, should I also set
REYNOLDS_LENGTH = 2.0

Or should the Reynolds Length be with respect to the original grid since it will be multiplied by CONVERT_TO_METER?

Regards,
