Both at 30mph (or maybe it was 20 - I'll have to double check).
It sounds freaking low, but - max Reynolds number = 184. Not 184 thousand, just 184. We'll get scale wind tunnel testing soon  |
How does FLUENT compare to FloWorks in ease of use ?
Point zero eighty six.
Slick !
I wonder how that this would translate to a full size car if the shapes were identical. I know that the frontal area would change, but how is the .Cd value changed when a shape such as yours is scaled up ?
