CFD - Symmetry Condition (Drag)

’ in that case the results are independent of the area,’

But in order to have a coefficient be dimensionless, does it not do so by using a reference area or length depending on the coefficient? If that is the case, then the coefficients are dependent on area (or length).

Also, I am still unsure of the ‘Force and Moment Coefficient’ Result control Freestream Velocity usage. For example if in Boundary Control, I input the x,y,z velocities as 1000,100,100 (in/sec), should I put the Freestream velocity in ‘Force and Moment Coefficient’ Result control as the magnitude of the vector sum of those 3 velocities?
