Andromeda Flow
Andromeda Aerospace · Windows, Linux & your browser

See the air move.

A virtual wind tunnel that runs in real time on your GPU: draw or pick a shape, set the speed and Reynolds number, and watch the flow — with lift, drag and surface pressure computed live from a lattice-Boltzmann solver.

Free to test airfoils, cylinders, rockets and cars at 256×128, on the desktop or in your browser, no account needed. Pro and Premium are one-time purchases that work in both.

Virtual wind tunnel

Real fluid dynamics, while you watch.

A solver you can see

Lattice-Boltzmann (D2Q9) on the GPU through WebGL 2, with a CPU fallback: speed, vorticity, pressure and density fields, streamlines, tracer particles and velocity vectors in real time.

Any shape

NACA 4-digit airfoils at any angle of attack, cylinders, plates, rockets and cars — or draw your own polygon, import an SVG, or load an STL for the 3D solver.

Numbers, not just pictures

Lift and drag coefficients from momentum exchange, Cp around the body, a probe for any point, convergence indicators and the limits of each number explained.

Sweeps

Angle-of-attack and Reynolds sweeps that produce lift and drag polars with tables, charts and CSV export; batch queues with Premium.

Higher Reynolds numbers

A Smagorinsky LES sub-grid model and ultra-resolution grids up to 2048 × 1024 for flows the basic solver cannot hold stable.

3D when you need it

A coarse D3Q19 three-dimensional solver for extruded wings and STL bodies, with slice planes and iso-speed particles.

Honest by design

Validated, and clear about its limits.

The app ships with a validation page: cylinder drag against reference values across Reynolds numbers, Poiseuille flow against the analytic profile, NACA 0012 lift slopes. It also explains what a 2D lattice solver cannot do — compressibility, full turbulence, high Mach — so you know when to reach for a bigger tool.

Install Andromeda Flow

One installer for every edition — your licence key unlocks Pro or Premium. The GPU solver needs WebGL 2 with floating-point textures (any graphics card or integrated GPU from the last decade); otherwise the CPU solver runs at lower resolution. Prefer not to install? The same wind tunnel runs in your browser.

Checking for the latest tested release…

Windows

Windows 10 or 11 · x64 · .exe installer

Windows download unavailable

Run the setup file. It adds Andromeda Flow to the Start menu and desktop. Uninstalling keeps your settings and licence.

Linux

x86_64 · AppImage

Linux download unavailable

Make the AppImage executable and run it.

Browser

Any modern browser with WebGL 2 · nothing to install

Open Flow in your browser

The free edition opens straight away. Pro and Premium unlock automatically when you sign in with the 14d.space account you bought with, or when you paste your licence key.

Questions

Before you install

Is this real CFD?

It is a real fluid solver — the lattice-Boltzmann method is used in research and industry — running in two dimensions at modest Reynolds numbers in real time. It is excellent for understanding flows, comparing shapes and teaching; it is not a substitute for a validated 3D RANS or LES study of a final design. The validation page shows where it agrees with reference data.

Does it need an internet connection?

No. Everything runs locally. The desktop app only goes online to check 14d.space for updates.

Can I use Andromeda Flow without installing it?

Yes — open it in your browser. It is the same wind tunnel with the same editions: Free needs no account; Pro and Premium unlock when you sign in with your 14d.space account or paste your licence key, which stays in that browser.

How do updates work?

Andromeda Flow checks 14d.space for a newer verified release shortly after it starts and every four hours, and installs it when you close the app (Windows) or the next time you open it (Linux). Only packages signed by 14d.space are accepted.

What happens after the update year?

Your licence keeps working forever with every release from your update year.
