Stationary or time-dependent solver for flow over 3D cylinder (Computing drag coefficient)

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi!

Is it possible to extract reasonable drag forces on a 3D cylinder from a stationary solver? Reyolds numbers are ~1000. Or is a Time dependent solver the only way?

Best regards, Brynjulv Tveit
