Maybe someday you will have done some fraction of the work aerohead has done. Which informs his comments.
Yes, and I have thought about all this as well. And I still think it's worth trying. As we all know, fluid flow is not very intuitive. The point of this experiment was to combine some tried and true concepts with a concept that some PHD's developed that reduced drag in computer simulations. As we also know, cfd does not always translate to real life. Thus the "trying it" part!
