I'm not sure how to get started. I have the dat file for a Selig 1223 airfoil but I'm not sure how to get started. How would I code a program that can simulate the airflow.

I'm trying to go off of that but I can't get it to show the 2D airfoil simulation. I think the program is too old and its not translating over to the current version of Matlab.

Where do I get started? I just need to code a Selig 1223 airfoil to get the streamlines and velocities at certain points of the airfoil.
