- Strangely enough, I was just assigned the task of writing some panel code
- for a NACA 0012 in my CFD class this morning.
-
- The NACA 0012 can be expressed by
-
- y= 0.6(0.2969x^.5 - 0.1260x - 0.3516x^2 + 0.2843x^3 - 0.1015x^4)
-
-
- Or this is the approximation we are using at least.
-
- The point (0,0) is the leading edge.
-
- X goes from 0 to 1
