AeroFlow - Airfoil Analysis in the Browser

I'm an aerospace engineer. I use airfoil analysis tools. Most are ancient, clunky, or expensive.

So I built AeroFlow. Modern airfoil analysis in the browser.

NACA airfoil generation. 4-digit and 5-digit series. Precise coordinates. Instant.

Custom upload. Got a .DAT file? Upload it. We'll analyze.

Single-point analysis. Specify angle of attack, get instant results. Lift, drag, pressure distribution.

Polar generation. Run across angle ranges. Full lift-drag characteristic curve.

Viscous and inviscid modes. Toggle between ideal flow and real flow with boundary layer.

Cp distribution. Pressure coefficient visualization. See where flow separates.

Boundary layer diagnostics. Shape parameter, momentum thickness, skin friction. Real engineering stuff.

Compressibility corrections. Karman-Tsien, Prandtl-Glauert. For when you're flying fast enough that air compresses.

Design tools. Full inverse (MDES), mixed inverse (QDES), geometry edits (GDES). Actually design airfoils, not just analyze.

User accounts. Save history. Export results.

Tech: Next.js 14, TypeScript, Tailwind, Chart.js, Recharts, React Dropzone, Firebase (Auth + Firestore).

Inspired by XFoil but built for modern web. No installation. No Fortran. Just open the browser.

try it: aeroflow-nu.vercel.app

Built solo. Few weeks. Learned a lot about computational aerodynamics.

Alhamdulillah.
