About

NeuraFOIL

Features
Read full description

NeuraFOIL brings AI-assisted airfoil analysis to your hand. Meet the first neural network-powered aerodynamic tool designed for engineers, students, and aerospace enthusiasts who want real insights instantly on their iPhone or iPad. Explore NACA 4-digit airfoils by entering the airfoil code, angle of attack, and Reynolds number. NeuraFOIL instantly visualizes the geometry and predicts pressure coefficient, skin-friction coefficient, lift coefficient, and drag coefficient using an on-device Core ML model trained from OpenFOAM CFD simulations. Full data export to CSV for post-processing in Python, MATLAB, or Excel is available. Designed for students, engineers, makers, and aerodynamic enthusiasts, NeuraFOIL makes it easy to compare airfoil behavior, test design ideas, and build intuition about how geometry and flow conditions affect aerodynamic performance. Predictions run locally on your device, so results are fast and available without an internet connection. NeuraFOIL is ideal for learning, early-stage exploration, and quick aerodynamic comparison. It is not intended to replace validated CFD, wind-tunnel testing, or certified engineering analysis.

About

iTurbo3D

Features
Read full description

iTurbo 3D brings interactive three-dimensional turbulence simulation to iPhone. A pseudo-spectral incompressible Navier-Stokes solver evolves the velocity field while a Metal volume ray marcher displays the flow as it develops. Explore the volume using touch controls: drag to orbit, pinch to zoom, and double-tap to restore the camera. Switch between vorticity, Q-criterion, kinetic energy, and helicity, with a selection of scientific colormaps and light or dark backgrounds. Configure Taylor-Green or random turbulence, choose a 32 cubed, 64 cubed, or 128 cubed grid, set the Reynolds number, and adjust forcing. Higher grid resolutions reveal finer structures while using progressively more memory and processing power. Pause, resume, advance one step, or reset the simulation from the bottom toolbar. Live status values show the time step, iteration, simulation time, step rate, energy, and enstrophy. Expand the diagnostics to inspect energy history and the energy spectrum. Whether you are teaching fluid mechanics, studying turbulence, or simply enjoy computational physics, iTurbo 3D turns the equations of motion into something you can see and explore directly on iPhone.
