There is way to much others variables like air temperature, wind, etc, to end with interesting result doing this.
I know my power requirement in direct in my Vanabolt dash (like every Bolt).
At highway speed, on cruise control, this one can vary from 16 kW up to 50 kW for different reasons.
So I'm not interested to take huge amount of time doing foam prototype to have barely noticeable result or clearly wrong result.
My goal is simply to build (1 time) a high-top with a good shape who can potentially increase my range.
It will not be the perfect shape, but I'm trying to have as much information/knowledge as possible to not building something bad.
It seem like I will not find 3D flow simulators help here, but what can be a first ''accessible'' book to read about vehicle aerodynamic?
Accessible like I can understand at least 1/2 of what I read
