How to install WindTunnel CFD on Windows?
Instruction on how to install WindTunnel CFD on Windows 10 Windows 11 PC & Laptop
In this post, I am going to show you how to install WindTunnel CFD on Windows PC by using Android App Player such as BlueStacks, LDPlayer, Nox, KOPlayer, ...
Before you start, you will need to download the APK/XAPK installer file, you can find download button on top of this page. Save it to easy-to-find location.
[Note] You can also download older versions of this app on bottom of this page.
Below you will find a detailed step-by-step guide, but I want to give you a fast overview of how it works. All you need is an emulator that will emulate an Android device on your Windows PC and then you can install applications and use it - you see you're playing it on Android, but this runs not on a smartphone or tablet, it runs on a PC.
If this doesn't work on your PC, or you cannot install, comment here and we will help you!
Step By Step Guide To Install WindTunnel CFD using BlueStacks
- Download and Install BlueStacks at: https://www.bluestacks.com. The installation procedure is quite simple. After successful installation, open the Bluestacks emulator. It may take some time to load the Bluestacks app initially. Once it is opened, you should be able to see the Home screen of Bluestacks.
- Open the APK/XAPK file: Double-click the APK/XAPK file to launch BlueStacks and install the application. If your APK/XAPK file doesn't automatically open BlueStacks, right-click on it and select Open with... Browse to the BlueStacks. You can also drag-and-drop the APK/XAPK file onto the BlueStacks home screen
- Once installed, click "WindTunnel CFD" icon on the home screen to start using, it'll work like a charm :D
[Note 1] For better performance and compatibility, choose BlueStacks 5 Nougat 64-bit read more
[Note 2] about Bluetooth: At the moment, support for Bluetooth is not available on BlueStacks. Hence, apps that require control of Bluetooth may not work on BlueStacks.
How to install WindTunnel CFD on Windows PC using NoxPlayer
- Download & Install NoxPlayer at: https://www.bignox.com. The installation is easy to carry out.
- Drag the APK/XAPK file to the NoxPlayer interface and drop it to install
- The installation process will take place quickly. After successful installation, you can find "WindTunnel CFD" on the home screen of NoxPlayer, just click to open it.

Do you want to see the effect of the Reynolds Number on the vortex shedding, the effect of the angle of attack on the lift and drag of a 2D profile, the flow around 2D geometry you can easily draw or import ?
Or you just prefer to understand the principles of computational fluid dynamics ?
This App. is for you
NUMECA (www.numeca.be), developer of high-end 3D CFD software and ALGORIZK (www.algorizk.com), developer of interactive physical simulation applications have joined forces and knowledge to provide an Application for Education, aiming at providing 2D quantitative results with comparison to experiments, 3D CFD or analytical results.
Numerical technology includes:
- Immersed Boundary Method using discrete forcing approach
- Spalding wall function turbulence model
- Vorticity confinement method switch (on/off) to add artificial turbulence
- 1st or 2nd order Advection scheme
- CPU and GPU acceleration
Key Features include:
- Choose between two modes: interactive mode to draw obstacles or, import mode to import shapes from text files. These files include numerical settings and can also include reference data for comparison (see format description below).
- Pre-processing tools: mesh size adjustment (max. size is function of the screen definition of your smartphone or tablet), wind tunnel input velocity magnitude and angle, fluid viscosity, periodicity top/down & Reynolds number. Tapping twice on the inlet region opens the boundary condition window.
- Adjust numerical parameters : CFL number, iteration number for the Poisson equation solver, artificial turbulence.
- Visualization: physical fields (pressure, velocity magnitude, velocity components, vorticity), particles (streamlines, streak lines and random), colored smoke (predefined stripes, streamlines or streak lines).
Regarding the streamline, you can change the number of streamlines pitching the screen on the inlet region.
- Analyse the flow field using the color scale. Touch the screen on the upper and lower limit of the scale to change the color scale (only for pressure and vorticity).
- Post-processing tools: line or point probes are available to plot the field in a graphic. You can plot the averaged or the instantaneous fields as well as the lift and drag. Strouhal number is available using an automatic Fourier decomposition tool. An output file (in VTK format) of your results is available.
- Tapping twice on the Cartesian plot, the color scale or the information box will remove them
- Load/Save your own configuration.
- Predefined cases are available such as circle cylinder Re=3900, square cylinder Re=500, Durham turbine and others.
New features:
- ability to import external geometry in .svg format (instructions available at http://www.algorizk.com/cfd/help/)
- choice of several color maps: tap the color scale, then "choose colormap"
- ability to re-scale geometry with two finger pinch (now you can translate/rotate/rescale with traditional two-finger gestures)
Bug corrections:
- user interface corrections
- erase wall bug
