Thanks Metro - I'll work on that shortly...

I've been going back and forth between the cut plots (what I've been posting) and working on the 3D model... The 3Dmodel is HUGE, and really bogs down my machine... Saving is a 5 minute operation, and I've already crashed once I've got maybe 100 or so features to repair - even then, I don't know if it will work

Boundary layer pictures


Those points (some highlighted) indicate where the boundary layer WAS in my last boundary layer post - this shows improvement Angle, according to SW, is 18.18 degrees... As before, red=55mph or more, blue=0mph or less

Here's the wave plot, just to keep things organized



Metro, where are you measuring the 9 degree angle? I'm getting ~15 degrees


When I measure from tip of spoiler to very top, I get something ~9 degrees....
