Detailed Descriptions

Reference dimensions

Form for defining dimensions used in force coefficient calculations. Specifies reference area, length, and other geometric parameters essential for computing aerodynamic coefficients and non-dimensionalizing results.

Outputs list

Comprehensive list of all outputs to generate from the simulation. Controls what data is generated during and after simulation runs, including flow variables, output locations, frequencies, and file formats.
