Possibility For Aerodynamic Section?

[rcs_888]

Hey Guys,

Just wondering if you have in the past had a section dedicated to aerodynamic discussions? i understand that it would be a section that may have alot of arguments but for some of us hopefully we can get some usefull information.

Just a thought as im looking for aero info currently and beside the search tab theres no way of scrolling through.

Cheers

+1 would be relevant to my interests as well

what kinda info are you chasing mate?

[bcozican]

Bit of everything just getting into learning about it. Read quite a bit and applying slowly to my car (my build in motorsport section)

I like the top level stuff and also bang for buck stuff the average punter can do... but done correctly... not just slap together to look good

sounds like were in the same boat. ive just been reading about rear diffusers etc. trying to findout/workout angle of attack to start from and its looking like im going to start at about 12* and going to be doing a full flat floor prior to the diffuser.

yeop same spot

i'll be making a rear diffuser and thinking about going flat floor etc but how, how high, whether flat floor without side skirts linked to it is worth it or have to go full enclosed, materials used and weight of that material vs cost etc are all relevant and good for discussion

Im prob using ally honeycombe core composite for above 1.5kg / m2 so light and strong

maybe start a thread in Motorsport section and go from there ???

Unfortunatley after having a read if you dont have clean air in the diffuser you wont want to go out the relm of 5-7* they say for an average flat floor around 10* and a good floor upto 15* but obviously it all depends on situation. Hence why im going with 12 and ill have a play with some wool tufts and the go pro and see if i can get abit more out of it without upsetting the balance too much.

Ok cool, we've discussed this in the moderator section and happy to add it. Going to put it under the cosmetic section, is that ok?

Either cosmetic of maybe a sub forum in motorsport?

That might be a better place for it actually.
