For each mesh, take note of the drag coefficient and compare with each other.

Experimental

0.1

Coarse

0.44485

Fine

0.373733

We clearly see a difference in the drag coefficients, as the "Fine" case moves closer to the Experimental Data.

We see that the Pressure Coefficient doesn't change all that much, so the correlation between mesh density and Pressure Coefficient accuracy is not that strong (but only for this case). The key difference lies in the change in the Drag coefficients we found earlier.
