Description
This PR adds a new validation example for the incompressible potential flow solver using a NACA 0012 airfoil at$\alpha = 5^\circ$ and Mach 0.0588.
The example demonstrates the setup of a 2D inviscid incompressible flow simulation and includes the comparison of the computed lift coefficient with reference data from the literature. The obtained result ($C_l = 0.569$ ) shows very good agreement with the reference lift curve.
This example is intended to serve as a simple validation and reference case for users of the
PotentialFlowApplication.FYI @Marco1410
