Hallo everyone!
I' m a very beginner in CFD, OpenFoam and Linux!

I have to analyze the air flow around a Foil (NACA 0010 ) as part of my thesis.

The aim is to write a numerical model to study the airflow around the foil and then compare the results (cl,cd,cm etc.) with the experimental ones...the matter is that i don't know where to begin since i've never done anything like that!

i thought i could start drawing the foil with a cad software (Catia...?) using these points :

Than import the part as an .stl file, and try to mesh it crating a block with blockMesh and than refine it with snappyHexMesh...Unfortunately I have no idea how to compile the bloskMeshdict and the snappyHexMeshdict....

Does anybody has any suggestion? I'm lost and any help would be greatly appreciated!
