I modeled and simulated my own version of a LENZ III Airfoil for a DIY air turbine generator project. I'm very happy with how the design came out. 500 iterations visualized in paraviewer.

You'll note the "swirls" - a feature of the Lenz design - leaving the airfoil open at the back allows for less turbulence, higher "jet" effect which generates more torque.

Feedback, or better ways to visualize would be appreciated. Thank you.
