Hello everyone, I am currently a student in scientific preparatory classes and I have an assignment to do a TIPE. For this, I need to use a fluid mechanics software to simulate the flow over a wing (foil).
I was advised to use XFOIL but I can't install it on my Mac computer.
Could someone help me? Or suggest another easy-to-use software?
Thank you in advance

I ran a test,
the app loads easily and starts partially. The Terminal message seems to indicate that the complementary X11 app is missing on the Mac to continue.
X11 has now been replaced by Quartz. Try again after installing Quartz

good luck
EDIT: only in case it doesn't work with Quartz, try the last version of X11 used on Mac which was 1.1.3 if I remember correctly

Always indicate your system configuration in full - exact model of the computer, exact version of the OS.
