Abstract
DLR TAU results of the fifth AIAA CFD Drag Prediction Workshop are presented. A focus is set on the grid convergence behaviour of full hexahedral and hybrid hexahedral-dominant grids. Calculated drag values are close to experimental data at the design point but differ at off-design. A short interpretation of the results and explanations for differences are given.
