I want to generate NACA 63824 airfoil coordinates to use them in my bachelor thesis. I tried airfoil tools and java foil. But I can't generate 638xx series.
Can you recommend me a program or a code that generates these airfoil coordinates?

If you are a MATLAB or Oculus user, there is the NACA 5 digit Airfoil Generator program you can use. It works very well, considering it calculates the plot, as well as other main features of the airfoil, given the airfoil type.
Now, I am unaware of a program that gives plots based on the formula, but if you ever DO find out, please do not hesitate to post the link here.
NASA Technical Memorandum 4741 describes the calculations for Series 6 and 6A foils on page 8.
