We show how to create a simple table of design points with a set of appropriate x- and y- velocities for inputs across angles of attack going from -8 degrees to +18 degrees for an inlet velocity of 33 m/s and Reynolds number of 2.2 million. We also use simple calculations of appropriate resultant forces to make sure we are determining a drag force parallel to the flow and a lift force normal to the flow. The simulated coefficients of lift and drag are in reasonable alignment with experimental data.
