This document provides information on generating airfoil coordinates for NACA 4-digit airfoils using MATLAB code. It describes the inputs and outputs of the code, including the NACA airfoil designation, number of panels, and whether to use half-cosine or uniform x-spacing. The code calculates key airfoil parameters based on the designation, generates the x and z coordinates for the upper and lower surfaces, and can optionally write the data to a file. Examples of running the code and visualizing the results are also included.

INPUTS------------------------------------------------------------------iaf.designation = NACA 4 digit iaf.designation (eg. '2412') - STRING !


iaf.n = no of panels (line elements) PER SIDE (upper/lower)
iaf.HalfCosineSpacing = 1 for "half cosine x-spacing"
= 0 to give "uniform x-spacing"
iaf.wantFile = 1 for creating airfoil data file (eg. 'naca2412.dat')
= 0 to suppress writing into a file
iaf.datFilePath = Path where the data file has to be created
(eg. 'af_data_folder/naca4digitAF/')
use only forward slash '/' (Just for OS portability)
OUTPUTS-----------------------------------------------------------------Data:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
af.x = x cordinate (nx1 array)
af.z = z cordinate (nx1 array)
af.xU = x cordinate of upper surface (nx1 array)
af.zU = z cordinate of upper surface (nx1 array)
af.xL = x cordinate of lower surface (nx1 array)
af.zL = z cordinate of lower surface (nx1 array)
af.xC = x cordinate of camber line (nx1 array)
af.zC = z cordinate of camber line (nx1 array)
af.name = Name of the airfoil
