Dear Gaurang, It would help if you could provide us with more information as to what kind of solver you are trying to implement.
Compressible: - Is it an ideal fluid solver (Euler) or a full Navier-Stokes? How do you manage the non-linear terms? What are the boundary conditions you are imposing for the pressure, velocity and density? Is it isothermal or not? Incompressible: - How are you solving the saddle-point problem (stabilization, direct solver, schur complement, etc.)? What type of elements are you using? Overall, it will also depend on the Reynolds number you are simulating. Is your simulation transient or steady-state? With this, it might be easier to help you. Otherwise, it is not really possible to provide guidance. Understand that deal.II is not a CFD solver but a framework to enable you to build your own solvers. In lethe we have an example that is a simulation of the flow around an airfoil (see https://chaos-polymtl.github.io/lethe/documentation/examples/incompressible-flow/2d-naca0012-low-reynolds/2d-naca0012-low-reynolds.html ) this may help you in the right direction.
