# AirfoilMesh
A Glyph script for generating NACA 4-series airfoil geometries and boundary layer meshes.

Generating or Importing Geometry
--------------------------------
## Generating or Importing Geometry
This script provides a way to generate NACA 4-Series airfoil geometries within Pointwise without relying on external coordinate files. Simply input the 4 digits defining a NACA 4-Series airfoil and click CREATE. However, the script does support the ability to import external airfoil coordinates from a segment file. The only requirement is that the airfoil should consist of three segments, the upper surface, lower surface, and trailing edge. In the current implementation, this script only handles airfoils with a finite trailing edge.

* Maximum camber located at 40% of the chord
* Maximum thickness is 12% of the chord (located at 30% of the chord)

Boundary Layer Meshing
----------------------
## Boundary Layer Meshing
This script also automates the mesh generation process within Pointwise by asking the user to provide common boundary layer parameters. Assuming a unit length for the airfoil, the parameters are factors of the chord length. Once the boundary layer parameters have been selected, click MESH to generate a high quality structured O-grid topology using Pointwise's normal hyperbolic extrusion tool. Note that while the user has the ability to adjust common boundary layer parameters, more advanced parameters can be found within the attached Glyph script.
