(is the illustration on the right the actual cross-section?)Īlso, it’s easy to feel like Adrian Newey if you only show cp down to -0.5.

I would happily “sacrifice” zone 5 to make room for a more aggressive 1 and 2. Notice that my car from last year only really had separation right after the plank.Īnother thing: I think you could make the part attached to the stepped plane a bit more aggressive. I think I shared this U-near-wall picture after the final race last season (thinking it wouldn’t ever be relevant again). You just need to keep the bubble “contained”. It is not impossible to make the center work though. A bit like increasing aoa on a wing that’s already stalling, doesn’t make a lot of sense.

One probably won’t get good results trying to apply a lot of suction directly on that bubble. I think the separation bubble here is unavoidable. You certainly have to work around the sudden step created by the plank. Making reference to these images can anyone suggest what improvements to make and why? I've numbered the zones to make it easier to identify the different parts. The image on the right shows the profile of the diffuser. The CFD images on the left are from the official MantiumFlow post processing pack (every competitor gets 588 CFD images after each race!), showing surface pressure and air velocity near the wall.

So in the interest of community spirit, to help people who are just starting out, maybe we can get some tips from the championship front runners on how to read the CFD plots to improve these parts? Performance of the 3 "primary performance areas" (Front Wing, rear wing, diffuser) was still way less than needed.

This should mean that you can put a really big front wing on and it will likely still make full power. So I thought I would post some more CFD images of the last version.Įven without the top vents the cooling performance was still way higher than needed flow 3.8M^3/sec (3.0m^3/sec required), and it no longer impinges on the rear wing. The final version of my 2019 car can be downloaded as a starting point by anyone who wants to use it for 2020.

As many will have seen we have decided to keep the MVRC rules static for this year:.
