Problem
What it is meant to solve
Early aero questions often jump straight into heavy general CFD: long setup, opaque method claims, and results that are hard to defend in a design review against screening-grade needs.
HENFLOW is planned to deliver labelled aerospace CFD in 2D and 3D — Reynolds/Mach-aware workflows, honesty about fidelity, and a trail that sits next to HENFOIL / HENSYNTH decisions when the mesh and case are ready. Not live yet; launch in process.
Problems in the field
Why aerospace teams need a dedicated product
Setup tax for early questions
General CFD suites ask for full case craft before the team knows whether a section or configuration even warrants the run. Days disappear into mesh and BC setup for screening-grade questions.
Opaque method claims
Plots arrive without a clear method ID, gate or fidelity label. Reviews ask “what physics ran?” and the answer is a screenshot, not a trail.
Disconnected from section & aircraft decisions
CFD files sit apart from HENFOIL polars and HENSYNTH mission screens. The design story fractures across tools.
Wrong fidelity, wrong cost
Teams either under-run with unlabelled pictures or over-run with heavy solvers when aerospace defaults and honesty gates would have been enough for the decision at hand.
Planned intent
What we intend to ship — when it goes live
These are roadmap intents, not live features. Nothing below is available to run today.
2D section & airfoil flow
Flow fields for section and airfoil cases with aerospace naming — meant to sit beside HENFOIL screening, not replace every polar with an unlabelled picture.
3D wing & configuration CFD
Vehicle-level screening CFD for wings and early configurations, with clear limits on what the case claims.
Method IDs on every field
Results carry method labels and honesty gates so a design review can see what physics ran — and what did not.
Mesh hand-off from HENMESH
Cases intended to consume aerospace mesh packs from HENMESH rather than orphan grids dropped into a general GUI.

What HENFLOW is for
HENFLOW is planned as HENDOI’s aerospace CFD product. 2D for section and airfoil flow fields; 3D for wings, configurations and vehicle-level screening CFD. The goal is computational seriousness with method IDs and clear limits — so a review can see what physics ran.

Nature of the product
Aerospace-specific CFD — defaults, language and review habits for aircraft and airfoil work. It is not a multiphysics catch-all, not a wind-tunnel substitute and not a certification CFD authority. Fidelity stays labelled so teams do not confuse a screening field with a flight-Re certificate.
03 · Depth
Problems it is meant to solve
Teams burn days configuring general CFD for questions that still need aerospace defaults, airfoil/aircraft language and honest gates. HENFLOW is intended to reduce that setup tax, keep results labelled, and connect to meshes from HENMESH rather than orphan files.
04 · Depth
How it fits the stack
HENFOIL and HENSYNTH stay the live screening workspaces. HENMESH prepares domains. HENFLOW runs aerospace CFD. Certification CFD, flight test and authority methods remain outside the product claim until we say otherwise — same honesty standard as today’s live tools.

What this page is not
HENFLOW is not live. You cannot open a CFD case, spend a CFD meter or download a flow field from HENDOI today. Use HENFOIL polars and HENSYNTH screening for current work, and tell us your CFD industrial challenges so the launch fits real pipelines. Do not treat this page as a shipping date.
Stack position
Where HENFLOW sits
- 01
HENFOIL / HENSYNTH — live screening today
- 02
HENMESH — aerospace meshes (upcoming)
- 03
HENFLOW — aerospace CFD 2D & 3D (next)
- 04
HENSTRUCT — structural analysis & simulation after
Honesty
Clear limits on this page
Not live
No CFD cases, meters or flow downloads exist under HENFLOW today.
Not certification CFD
Authority methods, flight-test correlation campaigns and certification CFD stay outside until explicitly claimed.
Not a replacement for HENFOIL polars
HENFOIL remains the live section product. HENFLOW is planned CFD for when mesh and case fidelity are ready — not a silent swap for every VIC polar.
Who it is for
- OEM aero groups needing labelled early CFD
- UAV teams comparing 2D section flow to 3D wing cases
- Researchers who want method IDs on every field plot
