- VisualFoil is an easy-to-use digital wind tunnel that allows you to analyze airfoil shapes. Use the software to design and analyze an airfoil for your wing, keel, race car or wind energy project.

Yes, they can analyze NACA 4, 5 & 6-digit shapes as well as custom airfoils (enter as .dxf or coordinate files). Results match experiments (Abbott et. al.) and other programs (Euler/N-S codes).
Hey Patrcik, I was going through your demo video on the analysis of the Airfoils, and I was interested to know whether one can stack different NACA(4,5,6) profiles on different planes and analyse the pressure distribution and calculate the drag and lift coefficients.Kindly let me know, I am looking forward to hearing from you
can these programme analyse naca 5 series airfoil and how good is it compare to Xfoil or Xflr5
I suppose I could afford it if I saved up, but I also suppose I could use my existing skills as an engineer to perform the work myself. It would be a lot faster though, buying this software. I'm working on a powered glider. Off to nature!
Patrick, do you recommend this software for analysing the runner blades of water turbines, like in a typical francis? have you got any customer feedback, who used the software for such purposes?
+tkzsfen Thanks for your question. VisualFoil is for isolated airfoil analysis. So if the blades in the turbine are close to to each other (interacting) then the software will not provide very accurate results.
Hello MR Patrick Hanley, we are currently doing Final Year Project on analyzing NACA 0012 and 4412 on the differences of their CL and AoA.. but we are in trouble of not able to get this software. Is there any possibilities that you can help us?
