NACA 0012 CFD: Commercial CFD to a C++ Solver
A two-dimensional cell-centred finite-volume solver written from scratch in C++, carried from analytical verification and a lid-driven cavity benchmark through to wall-resolved k-omega SST simulations of a NACA 0012 at a chord Reynolds number of 6×10⁶, alongside the ANSYS Fluent study of the same case that motivated it.
