Once again, I don't get to be part of everyone.  What I suggested was a low-cost testing technique. I think bubble-rap would be halfway between dimples and an omni-directional vortex generator. They all provide a small-scale, localized disturbance of the overall air flow.
Well, thanks for bringing it up so we could all, for better or worse, exercise our 'thinkers'. |
It's no fun if you're like everyone else, not being one of them is what makes you special man
And I guess I could do the bubble wrap, I'm just not knowledgeable enough to know if the results would even be relevant for the theory behind dimples/pits/etc?? I'd hate to test it, have it do nothing, and then wrongfully provide empirical data that says dimples don't do anything. Does that make sense? If dimples truly are inefficient vortex generators like Aerohead said, then bumps would be relevant... But if dimples act in a manner which is different than a true vortex generator, then bumps wouldn't be a proper test right? I guess I can make a plan for testing it sometime soon, might hit you up for help with it since it's your idea
