    Context from the homepage (https://flow5.tech):

    An analysis tool for planes and sails operating at low Reynolds numbers

    flow5 is a potential flow solver with built-in pre- and post processing functionalities. Its purpose is to make preliminary designs of wings, planes, hydrofoils and sails reliable, fast and user-friendly.

      With so many things being called Flow these days, this one is probably the most fitting.

    Curious that this hit the front page.

    What kind of projects is this software used for?
