Which is easier way to get nice visual results towing the car vs flowing water? I would guess towing but how long do you have to make the tank to get nice flow and are the rotating wheels valid due to reynolds number?

If I want to get reasults for 1:24 truck for speed 50 mph do I tow the truck
50mph/833=0.06 mph
(50mph*24)/833=1.44 mph
or something else?.

If I build flowing water tank is this good design like here on the this video or is it better to have only one flowing channel vs two returns?
