[Gmsh] Problem with Boundary Layer around 2D airfoil with sharp trailing edge

[ashish bhole]

Hello All,

I am new at using gmsh. I want to generate a mesh (unstructured) around 2D
airfoil with sharp trailing edge. When I use Boundary Layer field in gmsh,
it generates boundary layer but with undesirable intersections. I have
attached my .geo file here. Currently, I have commented Boundary Layer
field lines in the script.

Please share idea how can I make it work correctly.
Thank you.

Mesh.RecombineAll = 1;

Li = 50.0; // distance of inflow boundary from origin
Lo = 50.0; // distance of outflow boundary from origin

n  = 50; // points on upper/lower surface of airfoil used to define airfoil
         // These points may not appear in the mesh.

lc1 = 10.0;
lc2 = 0.05;

m = 2*n - 2; // total number of points on airfoil without repetition
             // LE and TE points are common to upper/lower surface

nle = n; // point number of LE = no. of points on upper surface
         // Point(1) is trailing edge

// NACA0012 profile
