We must create an appropriate mesh to capture the subtle flow features around the wing. A simple way of doing this is to add a Face Sizing control. Under Objects in the Mesh panel, press the Add button next to Size Controls, then select Face Sizing. Select the 3 faces of the wing as the Location and input an Element size of 0.125 [in].
