Smoke trails in windtunnels are only for looks
That's why florescent green smoke is best.

Look at that 1/43rd scale model VW with the reverse rake of a stock VW. If you hold a straight edge up to the screen, level up to the centers of the hubcaps and slide it straight up, you'll see that the streamlines over the top of the roof descend below that height only as they reach the vicinity of the back bumper.

I like bubbles


I went looking for a picture with florescent green smoke bubbles underwater, but what I found instead was a trove of ontopic stuff posted by aerohead in 2009!
