Could you please expand on Culver's ratio for drag minimum?
'The horizontal spacing distance' has me scratching my head.
Are we discussing topographic structures attached to the same surface, in train with one another, or individual bodies, at least one 'drafting' behind the lead body?
None of my tabulated data for empirical measurements indicate minimums for either 3D, or 2D structures at ratios this 'small.'
Thanks in advance.
