Description

Airfoil Design is the ultimate tool for designing and analyzing aircraft wing sections. With advanced numeric methods, custom mesh generation, and real-time aerodynamic analysis, you can create and refine complex airfoil geometries with precision. Our CFD simulation engine accurately solves Euler's equations, providing insights into compressible, non-viscous flows, including shockwave formations.

Key Features:

- Design Flexibility: Generate and customize airfoil geometries with 4 types: NACA 4-digit, NACA 5-digit, Modified NACA 4-digit, and Modified NACA 5-digit airfoils.
- Real-Time Analysis: Adjust airfoil shapes using intuitive sliders and instantly see the impact on aerodynamic coefficients.
- Airfoil Import: Easily import existing airfoils from the airfoiltools.com database.
- Custom Mesh Generation: Create o-type grid meshes with our built-in generator and export them for use in other applications.
- Advanced CFD Simulation: Simulate airflow around your designs with our powerful CFD engine, now featuring touch pan/zoom, streamlines, CP vectors, and second-order solver. Visualize results with the new Coolwarm color map and export them as PDFs.

Whether you’re a professional aerospace engineer or a student of aerodynamics, Airfoil Design offers the tools you need to innovate and explore. Download now to start your aerodynamic journey on your iPad or iPhone.

Note: The app is continuously being improved, with new features and bug fixes on the way.

Fantastic!

This is great, well done Charles! Really like the easy to use interface which offers well rounded functionality. From a solver standpoint, what I find most interesting, based on your documentation, is that it is capable of simulating compressible flows including shock waves!
