How Do I Calculate the Vertices for a 3D NACA 0015 Profile?

[haa72]

Hello,
How can I draw a 3dimensional NACA 0015 .?
What should i calculate ?

i believe NACA0015 means 0 camber at the leading point of the airfoil and having 15% thickness of the chord line... so i guess u only need the chord length..

Airfoils is symetric. NACA codes give a cross section of the airfoil which is 2-D it does not say anything about the airfoil in the lateral direction

it is a little bit complicated , i don't know how to do that ,However i have to draw it or at least any other airfoils as a 3d .
Since i am workin on a darrius 3d wind turbine , modeling and simulatin using CFD , fluent and gambit

The NACA definitions are cross sections like was already mentioned. They have nothing to do with a 3rd dimension. That is up to the designer and usually involves blending between different airfoils as you travel from the root to the tip.

So , thre is no way to draw it as a 3 dimensional , the only way is to get its dimensions in 2d , then it is up to me to decide the blend line to make it as 3d, is that right ?

Anyway , thanks all fr your reply

How can I get the vertices of the NACA0015 profile for designing it in Gambit? Can u tell me the detailed way of doing so??
