3D Aerofoil Tutorial in ANSYS FLUENT - NASA Onera Wing

In this video, I go through a step by step guide on how to conduct a CFD simulation of a 3D aerofoil in ANSYS FLUENT. This example is from the NASA Langley Research Turbulence Modelling Resource website:
turbmodels.larc.nasa.gov/oner...
The results of the CFD simulation are verified with experimental data, and multiple CFD simulations performed by NASA
00:00 - 0:55 Intro
0:55 - 11:15 Geometry
11:15 - 27:32 - Meshing
27:32 - 42:47 ANSYS Fluent setup
42:47 - 47:50 Solving & saving
47:50 - Results and validation with experimental data

    Hi, it is an great tutorial it helped me during my engineering thesis in aeronautical engineering. One small note - when you are talking about surface of the wing - it is wing or just surface, not airfoil because airfoil is only 2D.

    HI,this is a very helpful video, thank you very much. I have a big annoying problem, I follow the video for meshing and parameter setting, but when I change the AOA to 6°, it doesn't converge

    This is an annoying issue that sometimes occurs with difficult simulations. My recommendations in order of importance to fix the problem would be to 1. Check the boundary conditions thoroughly. It is often mistakes that leads to this problem 2. Change solver. Sometimes another solver is needed for different applications 3. Change the relaxation conditions in Ansys to support slower convergence but a more stable solution 4. Run with mulitple meshes to see if the problem consists

    Hi, is there a reason why you subtract the airfoil body? will it affect the results if i keep it?

    Hi, this is an excellent video tutorial on how to set-up a CFD simulation, thank you. I have encountered an annoying problem which I have been trying to solve for the past hours. After I sketch the refinement rectangle around the airfoil and want to extend it, annoyingly, the whole solid disappears. Have you encountered this issue before? If so, do you mind sharing a solution to it? Kind regards.

    Hi, no I have not encountered this problem but all I can suggest is that you take a look at what settings are on the extrude, ie if “merge bodies” is on then it might be merging the solid body with the fluid body If there are any further issues, send on an email

    @@cillianthomasengineering Thank you for your quick response and proposed solution. Believe it or not, I have managed to figure it out just now haha! The solution was related to the “Add material” function of the extrude options. Switching up to “Add Frozen” solved the issue and I have managed to load it into Mechanical and generate a mesh!

    Hi, I found this video really helpful. However, i have encountered one issue. I am running ANSYS R19.2, i followed the exact same steps shown in the video and although i get practically the same results for Drag Coefficient and pressure coefficient, my lift coefficient is about 30% less than the one you find. Any suggestions?

    That's a good video. However, the student license only supported 512000 elements, so it was not possible to input physics properties. Instead, I did it with a simple geometry through this video. Thanks from Germany for your video.

    Thanks Kwon. I did a 2D naca 4 digit tutorial for the student version since it is hard to do 3D with such few cells. Did you get good results in the student version? Would be interesting to know for others if it is possible to still get good results with only 500K cells

    Hi Cillian, I watched your video on the "3D Aerofoil Tutorial in ANSYS FLUENT - NASA Onera Wing," but I'm encountering issues with the preference method you suggested. Whenever I switch from CFF to legacy, I face difficulties opening CFD. The error message I received is: "Application error(s) occurred in CFD-Post. The run 'RunSteady' in simulation 'Simulation' contains transient output, but no output files were defined." However, when I switch back to CFF, CFD post opens successfully, but I am unable to visualize the pressure coefficient on the Y-axis in CFD post. This data is crucial for validating my ongoing research work, so I would greatly appreciate your assistance with this matter. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
