We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Federico, I raised the issue of non-validation of my CFD results with experimental results in the topic (/forum/forums/topic/validation-of-airfoil-lift-and-drag-coefficients/#post-319795).

My mesh has good resolution and quality and its Y+ is below one. I used the K-Omega SST model and obtained its performance curve up to 10° angle of attack, which is as shown below:

 

I ran all simulations from 0° to 10° angle of attack as steady state and the residuals went down to 1e-13 and the CL and CD graphs were smooth. According to the picture above, there is a huge difference in the results. Because the Reynolds flow is in the transition region, I want to use the SST transition turbulence model.

Federico I have been involved in the validation of my results for a very long time and I suffer from this issue.

Please help me

Regards
