NACA Airfoil

FAKHREDDINE · February 7, 2017, 21:31

Dear CFD community

I want to study and simulate Radial Turbine Stator in CFX
I need to find NACA Airfoil coordinate of radial turbine stator/nozzle
I visited NACA Airfoil database website but I could not know which one is suitable for radial turbine stator

Please help if you have any idea

Thank you

There is no universal stator design, it is designed to suit the application.

If you do not use the stator airfoil which is used in the device you are trying to simulate then you are wasting your time with simulation. If you want results which are accurate you need to find what the stator airfoil is for your device.

If you just want some pretty pictures or just need to finish a university assignment then just draw anything which looks like an airfoil.
