And I should know... 
A word about the models directly from the creators of the DrivAer Models:
Scientifically verifiable results from doing this as amateurs on our cars, is extremely difficult by the words of the experts themselves:
...due to the fact that an unsteady investigation of an actual production car has so far not been feasible without enormous computational and experimental effort.
I'm not saying it isn't fun or that you shouldn't try (god knows I love to do this kind of thing) but there it is. The struggle is real.
I do care about being through and fact based despite what some people make up out of inviscid air but, my favourite way, IMHO, to measure if results are positive: Am I enjoying myself? The rest is gravy. |
I am not sure what point you are trying to make.
Of course airflow behaviour - especially unsteady flow behaviour - around real cars is complex, and the DrivAer model results cannot be fully transferred to the development of production cars.
Who said otherwise?
I've already described in
