Fantastic tutorial with clear explanations and loads of detail. It's refreshing to discover an ANSYS CFD video tutorial that doesn't focus solely on "what to click in ANSYS." The analysis is, instead, grounded to theory for the estimate of y+ to capture the boundary layer effect and experimental data to compare predicted values of CD and CL with actual measured values of the drag and lift coefficient of a NACA 2412 airfoil. I also appreciate that you didn't edit the portion where you iterated the vector lengths by trial and error. That's real. After conducting the entire simulation, I love that you circled back to check y+ values along the airfoil. I could heap more praise on this tutorial. It's phenomenal.

Amazing tutorial man, I have been searching for this type of session for a long time. This is a very detailed work, you amazingly explained almost every term, which is really appreciable term. Please make more, I am looking forward to diving deeper into this.

I don't know why I couldn't come accross this earlier. All this time I was spent learning from tutorials of ANSYS version 18.1 and lower. Finally found a tutorial on a newer much refined version of ANSYS. Great video Ciliian Thomas, you're a lifesafer. No amounts of 'Thank You(s)' would convey my gratitude.

Hey Cilliam, your video really helped me out. I had watched 15 plus videos on airfoils before tumbling on your video. I have to say, most of them never explained anything in detail as you did. Now, looking back at those videos, they were probably only for interacting with the gui of ansys for airfoil purposes 😂😂.

Great presentation, Try to rotate the airfoil by 8 degree at geometry from beginning and keep the inlet velocity as it is and check if you will get the same values for drag and lift coefficients

@nizaralloul5568 5 месяцев назад

hello the video was so helpful thank you again for the great work and without your beatiful smooth way of explaining i dont think i would have understood this simulation anywhere else, one quick note tho, i have went and took a look at the paper from which you got the experimental data to compare with the simulation results and have realized that they used a 24 inch chord which is equal to about 0.61 meters but in the simulation you put in 1 meter chord i think thats why your drag coef and lift coef have that much high of an error(even though its considerdedvery low when you consider the fact that its just a simulation compared to experimental data). thanks adain for this wonderful video

@riccardocarbonera107 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the very useful tutorial. Just a question: is it possible to compute the c_d and the c_l as output parameters without being costrained to change the force vectors on report definitions every time? I did parametrize velocity components as input parameters and drag&lift coefficients as output parameters, but I can't change their direction definitions (wich, as you already know, change for every angle of attack). Thank you SO much 🙏

I followed the tutorial step by step with the same airfoil but a chord length of 160mm and a x-velocity of 10m/s (model aircraft scale). I sized the mesh geometry accordingly (7.5, 15 times c) but my resulting Cl (0,0279) and Cd (0,00274) seem to be roughly off by a factor of 10 compared to the polars on airfoiltools in the same Reynoldsnumber and Ncrit range. Any idea what i did wrong? Is the mesh not suitable for this Re-Number regime? Again, thank you so much for the break down.

@rikipatel4340 7 месяцев назад

That would relate to the geometry, Ansys has three modelers, with discovery being the newest one. Design modeler, which was used in this video works well for simple 2d and 3d models.

I keep getting this error message every time I click generate mesh "The specified defeaturing tolerance was found to be larger than a specified size. The elements on one or more edges may be defeatured out." I've followed all your steps on how to create the geometry and apply the meshing conditions. But every time I try to generate the mesh, this error message keeps popping up. I really need ur guidance! Please let me know how I can correct this

What time stamp of the video is this at?

@berkantcesur1992 Год назад

For example at 8:40. Mine X and Y axes are short. But yours are unlimitedly long

@cillianthomasengineering Год назад

Thats strange, they should be unlimitedly long if you are in sketch mode on the xy plane. Is it affecting your geometry though? If not I would ignore it is a bug

@berkantcesur1992 Год назад

At 13:40 I can select vertical lines and x axes but x axes only affects left side of geometry. I cannot select right side of the x axis. That's why I couldn't manage the meshing procedure. May be using 2023 version of it can be a problem.
