It would make my essay easier to find information about this airfoil.
Thank you anyway!

There are some databses created by universities and research institutions that may help. For example:
m-selig.ae.illinois.edu
bigfoil.com
You probably find some results for 2-D experiment or CFD abalysis. You might run some yourself (xfoil is an easy start point).
Be very skeptic about the results. Good source of skeptism is the classic MCcrowsky paper about the NACA0012 section.
This meta-analysis used numerous wind tunnel tests and exhibited the result-scattering of this very ''standard'' case.

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has the potential of replacing wind tunnel testing in many wind engineering applications. Validated CFD software could enable engineers to calculate wind effects on buildings for which no aerodynamic information is currently available. However, the use of CFD for structural engineering applications is limited mainly because of its prohibitive computational resource requirements.
You may find some information regarding different airfoil sections characteristics in the book "Theory of wing sections by Abbot and von Doenhoff".
