Overview

AeroFlow is a comprehensive web-based platform for airfoil analysis, design, and optimization. Inspired by XFoil methodologies and implemented with modern web technologies, it provides engineers and researchers with powerful tools for single-point analysis, polar generation, compressibility corrections, transition modeling, and geometry/inverse design workflows.

Key Features

• NACA 4- and 5-digit airfoil generation with mathematically precise coordinates
• Custom airfoil upload via .DAT files
• Single-point aerodynamic analysis at specified angles of attack
• Polar generation across angle ranges with lift–drag characteristics
• Viscous and inviscid analysis modes
• Pressure coefficient (Cp) distribution visualization
• Boundary layer diagnostics: shape parameter, momentum thickness, skin friction
• Compressibility corrections (Karman–Tsien, Prandtl–Glauert)
• Transition modeling: natural and forced
• Design tools: full inverse (MDES), mixed inverse (QDES), and geometry edits (GDES)
• Real-time interactive plots and charts
• User accounts, saved analysis history, and exports

Why I Built It

• To provide an accessible, modern interface for rigorous aerodynamic analysis
• To streamline airfoil design workflows with inverse/geometry tools
• To enable engineers and students to explore aerodynamics in the browser
