aerohead did a thread on this in 2015, IDK if he remembers. ecomodder.com: Morelli's 'Fluid Tail'
Here is the only picture from then:
Obviously the forebody differs, but that black 'cuff' Zevo provided should possibly be at 45 degrees instead of 20. |
A prerequisite for the efficacy of Morelli's fluid tail 'ring-vortex' is all the 'roundness' of the rear cross-section.
There's a 'three-dimensional- flow- relieving- effect' at play with those generous radii, which are completely absent on the Zevo.
