I would be gratefull for your comments, as this may improve Flow Illustrator. If, say, the functionality of it is fixed, what can be improved?
Another thing: I read all the posts, and, rather naturally, the level of the background knowledge of aerodynamics and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) issues, well, varies. I would be happy to explain things, but there is just no way to explain aerodynamics in one sitting, and it would be nice not to need to repeat the same explanations again and again. May be I should concentrate them somewhere. Would there be much interest, do you think, to something like 'Aero without math' blog (run by a professor of the Department of Aeronautics of the Imperial College London, which, as you surely know, is one of the best universities in the world :-))?

Thank you for making yourself available to this forum. I think it would be neat if you did one in-depth analysis of a car silhouette that you yourself design and mod. Here is an example of what I mean :
1 - Make a 512*256(?) bitmap of silhouette of car that you think would work best with your Flow Illustrator. To make your life easy, you could pick one of the pictures we have already created. If you keep copies of the bitmaps we upload, then you already have a *plethora* to choose from!!!!
2 - Document inputs and put result on YouTube (or your website!!!).
3 - Add one meaningfull mod to the bitmap, calculate, and post on YouTube (or your website!!!).
4 - Comment on both videos.
This way, you wouldn't get bogged-down trying to tell us what we are doing right/wrong with our image inputs and output interpretation. The idea is, you could show how a "trained user" would take advantage of the Flow Illustrator to demonstrate the efficacy of an aerodynamic modification to a car.
Hmmmmm, maybe you could even write a paper on it.
