NACA profile validation
 
hi,

i have to validate a commercial cfd code for external flows around NACA profiles. But i don't have the faintest idea where to get some experimental data or some previous published validation reports. Can anyone help me with that? thanks!

cheerio Wolfgang

It is old but it is still relevent:

check the following site http://www.aoe.vt.edu/aoe/faculty/Mason_f/CAtxtAppB.pdf It contains nice sources which could match your needs.

just a suggestion, but the NACA-0012 is a symmetrical aerofoil. this is therefore often a good areofoil to use first as when set to zero incidence it should produce a symetrical pattern and no lift.
