This'll show you how sophisticated I am!Whataya think about testing models in a captive hydraulic environment by measuring the overall pull of the flow? (Huh?)
Here is the youtube link. This is the first of maybe 8 or more videos this fellow made using his water tunnel to illustrate flow around several cars. An accurate model is needed.
Stan;I thought about that, too. How about letting a model roll down an underwater ramp and timing how long it takes to travel between two marks on the ramp. It won't give you quantitive data but it should show up differences between model shapes. The bigger the model the better.Regards, Neil Tucson, AZ
I proposed doing it with a model, not a full-size vehicle. It is far easier to evaluate different model shapes in a swimming pool. Yes, I know people use a "coast-down" test but that is using a car that is already built.Regards, Neil Tucson, AZ
Is that defiantly or definitely?
