Biplane wing separation analysis under high angle of attack

This project involves meshing externally a Boeing 777-200 LR Aircraft, and then simulating its' operation on flight facing an airflow with an axial velocity of 50 m/s.  It is one of the longest-range commercial airliners, with an exterior length and wingspan reaching 63.70 and 64.80 meters respectively.  For this case a model with removed engines was chosen in order to assist convergence and meshing. Also a Symmetry plane was added midst the Part, and half the part was used for meshing and simulation for simplification.  A steady state compressible flow simulation is executed to visualize the air flow around the bodywork and wings of the aircraft, as well as the pressure distribution while on flight.

The goal is to investigate the behavior of an one-hour-design 3D printed glider while it gets actually printed.

116 minutes remaining before the wing sections are printed. Fin and fuselage still needs to be manufactured.
Hopefully some useful information will be acquired from this steady state incompressible CFD simulation before the hardware is all ready.
What is the speed range this plane can operate. Will this plane actually fly or it will be just a demo piece.

The glider is designed by some rules of thumb. 

Progress in the comments below!

Wing simulation of aircraft design prototype

In this project steady state incompressible fluid flow simulation of a small RC aircraft is performed for the completion of aircraft design course on SimScale's Academy. Two simulation at different AOA relative to wing is carried out to obtain the coefficient of lift and drag. Lift and drag forces are calculated at 3 and 20 AOA, also the flow around the aircraft is also visualized for the design consideration.
