Default NACA profile calculations

How do I calculate from the basic parameters the behaviour of the
profile, i.e. the Cl curves? And perhaps other nice info like the
leading edge diameter?

Generally: any pointers to in-depth information that a non-engineer can
mentally digest?

TIA,


I think you would be best served by a 2-D flow visualizer of which there
are several out there. I don't think hand computation of reasonable
values for lift n drag are reasonable objectives.
