"Snow Flow" testing?
Hey Guys,
I know I am not the first to think of this but, I wanted to ask;
We had our first snow yesterday. I noticed some specific air flow paterns preserved in the snow over my car. One thing I noticed in particular was the radius formed around the 4 air openings in my grille blocks. This happens to be the same radius I plan on replicating with materials I have on order (black Delrin that I will radius with a router). Anyway, the snow formed a fantastic looking radius in that area and some interesting shapes over the body of the car.
Oh, one major thing I noticed too is the relatively even spread over the body of the car versus my wife's car. The airflow is, obviously, FAR smoother omve my car than hers, as evidenced by the snow pattern.
Has anyone else used snow flow patterns as a way to do aero work?
Matt
