Overview

VisualFoil 5.0 is a modern easy-to-use airfoil analysis and design software for MS Windows.  The software enables you to quickly and inexpensively determine the best cross section shapes for  wings, spoilers, struts, hydrofoils, keels, rudders and other aerodynamic and support structures.

VisualFoil 5.0 replaces handbooks, websites and the cost and time associated with finding the right airfoil. The software allows you select efficient shapes during the conceptual design stage of the project and thus eliminate costly mistakes later in the production phase.

VisualFoil 5.0 shares the same modern interface as VisualFoil Plus with a built-in airfoil modification tool and the new custom airfoil editor that reads in .dxf files. The software uses an accurate linear strength vortex panel analysis routine that accurately computes lift, profile drag and moment coefficient for isolated airfoil sections.

VisualFoil 5.0 generates graphs of Cl & Cm vs angle of attack and Cl vs Cd. Iy produces color graphs and contour plots of pressure coefficient and streamlines that you can directly copy and paste into reports to enhance your presentations.

The software has a large library of built-in airfoils which includes NACA 4, 5 & 6-digit airfoils. In addition, you can enter custom airfoils. You can alos analyze and modify existing airfoil shapes.

Flow Solver

• Linear strength vortex panel method
• Coupled boundary layer solver to compute profile drag.
• Lift, drag & moment coefficient calculations.
• Prediction of transition & separation points to demonstrate the validity of your calculations.
• Stall & maximum lift prediction
• Surface graphs of pressure  coefficient & velocity ratio for clear explanations of the boundary layer behavior.
• Beautiful color contour graphs of the pressure coefficient for your reports and presentations.
• Custom graphs of Cl, Cd & Cm versus angle of attack that you can use in your homework assignments and final reports
• Multiple graphs of Cl vs Cd for explanining why you picked one airfoil over the other.
