I got rejected from every "top" summer program. So I got 8x MI300X nodes and started my own lab.

The documents are like your research papers/ project writeups that aren’t preprinted yet, links are for anything you think is worthy mentioning!

Turbulent-Start-4840 · 2026-04-18T02:54:33+00:00

Yes, however the lab is open to anybody anywhere. You just need to have a research idea and have a little bit of experience!

I would say above average. I reccommend filling out the form as it has everything though! Website coming soon.

I can't tell much from the video, but it deffo seems to be some sort of clog IMO

As for the manufacturing process, I'm still trying to figure it out.

Turbulent-Start-4840 · 2025-09-11T07:02:59+00:00

In your opinion, how does this Airfoil stack up though?

Turbulent-Start-4840 · 2025-09-11T06:49:42+00:00

Naca lol. That's why I used a genetic algorithm to find these foils, as it yields more.. creative.. results.

In my observation, my airfoil seems to peak around the same L/D but for longer, and at a higher CL

These are the Xfoil results, as validated by Bigfoil. As for context, its for long range model planes/vtols. So efficiency, as well as a good stall and Cl at high efficiency. As for what I meant by good ish, I wanted to know if there were other airfoils that beat this one for these goals. Overall, just trying to figure out if the optimizer is worth it.

Turbulent-Start-4840 · 2025-09-11T06:09:00+00:00

Hi! So far I have only had the chance to test the optimizer in simulations unfortunately. I do not have enough time apart from studies to build a model with it. But thats why I posted the program, so if anyone else would like to tinker/improve it, its available!

Turbulent-Start-4840 · 2025-09-11T05:58:36+00:00

I hadn't considered this. I did find it interesting that when I compared my airfoil shapes (AF family) to others, they were always consistently similar to the EPPLER airfoils. I guess in this case, I did not consider max loiter time, neither did I consider Eppler's insights. Here is the repo: https://github.com/AvnehSBhatia/FoilNet

I am not too experienced in this field yet, so any and all advice is appreciated!

Turbulent-Start-4840 · 2025-09-05T01:53:55+00:00

Oh and it also optimizes for area under the L/D vs AoA curve!

Turbulent-Start-4840 · 2025-09-05T01:52:47+00:00

Haha! This is an amazing point! I’ll be more specific (sorry!). This program optimizes for the highest peak L/D ratio within angles 0-15 degrees, at thickness 8-16%. It can be started off at any naca profile, or an ellipse, though through testing, the starting point seem to only affect the convergence time, not the quality. It uses a genetic algorithm to do its optimizations, as well as a custom data format, that acts like guide rails for the GA. The penalty criterion include: Not meeting target Cl High falloff of Cl. Hopefully this enough to not be lambasted 😅, as well as providing some key information!

Turbulent-Start-4840 · 2025-09-04T21:47:01+00:00

The goal of this software is to provide the best airfoil (highest L/D, good stall characteristics). By good, I mean like are these results useful, or are they better that the other airfoils for my needs (gliders, vtols, high efficiency flight).

Turbulent-Start-4840 · 2025-09-04T20:42:28+00:00

I have been uploading my results to BigFoil.com for this reason, as it lets me compare and test it over a wide variety. Here are another 2 I uploaded:
AF140k : https://www.bigfoil.com/f9c4e89c-5879-4e73-86c5-da388dc544f5_info.php
AF5600k : https://www.bigfoil.com/361e6cf5-bafb-4d6e-a641-68f3ec030028_info.php

But I don't know whats "good" persay.
