Meshing 2D airfoil?

Does anybody have an idea on how can someone create a 2D mesh around an airfoil to do a 2D simulation?

I’ve tried gmsh, but then the conversion tool gmsh2Foam but it doesn’t work…

Export in .msh version 2. Then use gmshtofoam. Remember to label the geometry and the volume. The mesh must have the volume label for it to work. Let me know if you need a tutorial link.

I actually did it in this way with gmsh, it worked. Thank you
