Coding Assignment 1

Numerical Thin Airfoil Theory

Due Date: 14 March 2024

By referring to below website:

[Link]

Please calculate lift and cl at zero angle of attack by making a code of numerical thin airfoil theory for airfoil
assigned to your group as in Table 1 and compare the result with analytical thin airfoil theory and
experiment results.

Experimental results and Equations for mean camber line Is as follows (can be found in the book of
Theory of Wing Section by Abbot and Von-Doenhoff starting from page 114):

NACA 4-digit series:


𝑚
𝑦𝑐 = 𝑝2 (2𝑝𝑥 − 𝑝𝑥 2 ) forward of maximum ordinate
𝑚
𝑦𝑐 = (1−𝑝)2 [(1 − 2𝑝) + 2𝑝𝑥 − 𝑥 2 ] aft of maximum ordinate

With m: maximum ordinate of mean line expressed as fraction of chord

p: chordwise position of maximum ordinate
