SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on enhancing CFD simulation accuracy by increasing mesh density, particularly around the boundaries of the aircraft wing. It is established that a higher mesh density captures forces such as velocity and pressure more effectively, resulting in improved velocity maps and streamlines. However, this increase in mesh density will also lead to longer simulation times. The consensus is that the greatest mesh density should be applied where the flow velocity changes most rapidly.
