Coefficient Of Drag Bicycle Wheel

Very new to CFD.

I am trying to record the difference in coefficient of drag between two 60mm deep road cycling wheels at a constant velocity of 12.5 m/s. I would also like to visualize the air flow.

The first wheel has has no accessories fitted on, whereas the second wheel has a supposedly aerodynamic weight.

Im really looking forward to working with this platform and interacting with this helpful community.

Cheers,
