By default, your local materials list will include a single fluid material (air) and a single solid material (aluminum). If the fluid involved in your problem is air, you can use the default properties for air or modify the properties. If the fluid in your problem is water, you can either copy water from the ANSYS CFX database or create a new “water” material from scratch. If you copy water from the database, you can still make modifications to the properties of your local copy of water. The editing or creating of material properties is done in the Create/Edit Materials dialog box. To display the Create/Edit Materials dialog box, select the Create/Edit… button in the Materials task page. See the following sections for detailed information on how to change material properties.
Ansys CFX has a very large library with different materials that we can use for different simulations. Adding new materials is very easy.
Ansys CFX – NACA 4412 (Structured Mesh)
The NACA four-digit wing sections define the profile by:
First digit describing maximum camber as percentage of the chord.
Second digit describing the distance of maximum camber from the airfoil leading edge in tenths of the chord.
OpenFOAM vs ANSYS CFX
OpenFOAM is the free, open source CFD software developed primarily by OpenCFD Ltd since 2004. It has a large user base across most areas of engineering and science, from both commercial and academic organisations.
We share the same tutorial using ANSYS Fluent.

In continuum mechanics, properties are represented in some chosen units, e.g. mass in kilograms (kg \relax \special {t4ht=), volume in cubic metres ( 3 m \relax \special {t4ht=), pressure in Pascals ( −1 −2 kgm s \relax \special {t4ht=).
