You are a friggin'' genius! It is one thing to understand fluid dynamics but to explain it to a moron like me so I can understand it a rare talent. I am surprised you aren't teaching at Embry Riddle.
those thin flat plate airfoils are very interesting...i think the red one at or near zero angle of attack should be what the model says as its thinner than the thick yellow one.
I have not looked into that myself, but in Hoerner's book "Fluid Dynamic Lift", chapter 8 is all about hydrodynamic lift. You can find it online here: www.scribd.com/doc/36093604/Fluid-Dynamic-Lift-1985-Hoerner .

Great video! Where you get the airfoil coordinates for xflr5?
For most airfoils I get my coordinates from the website airfoiltools.com . For some airfoils I come up with the coordinates myself.
What about for a hydrofoil
12% ?
