NACA 4 digits airfoil generator.

airfoilgenerator

This program computes the geometry of a NACA 4 digits airfoil following Abbot steps.

Code compilation steps

In order to compile the code: CMake and GNUplot are required.

cmake . 

make 

cd bin/ 

./agen

NACA0012 data generation and plot

These are the steps for the generation of a NACA0012 airfoil.

Once in bin/:

# launching program
./agen 
# typing airfoil name 
# -> naca**** or NACA**** syntax is required
naca0012
# setting the number of coords for the discretization of airfoil chord
# typing the scaling factor for the airfoil
1 
# setting the airfoil AOA
0
# setting if the airfoil leading edge is translated into the domain
0
0
# storing data option 
Y
# printing the airfoil option
Y
# exiting the program 
n

All the airfoil's data are in the *.dat files.
