It's not hard to understand. The smaller the wind tunnel, the less it can be relied on for accuracy.

Every credible technical reference states that; to suggest otherwise is simply to mislead.

It's the major reason why no major car manufacturer, race team, etc, uses small wind tunnels to test full-size vehicles. Instead, they spend hundreds of millions of dollars building huge wind tunnels.

This isn't a new idea - Volkswagen built their full-size wind tunnel in 1966.It had a 5 per cent blockage factor.

I won't bother contributing further to the thread: night doesn't become day just because someone here says so.
