since i'm still messing about with different wheel dam configurations i decited to run a few things trough flow illustrator... i know it's not the most scientiffic, but it's the best i got and it gives some sort of impression on what might happen.
i ran several different variations on the dams i have on right now, but the resulys all looked about the same, especially all seemed to have turbulent tails...
anyway just before i was about to quit i wondered what would happen if there was a hole in the dam. especially ford seems to have two wheeldams on their new models with a slot in between the two dams.
as inaccurate as it might be the difference was quite big, especially compared to all the weird compound dam things i had tried... i simply "drew" a hole in the dam and the turbulence behind the wheel setteled much quicker. in fact the turbulence in the simulation without the hole never setteled while the sim with the hole became perfecly smooth alfwat trough the 30 second render.
i'm considdering makeing the slots in my (custom) dams, but i'd like to know if anyone would be able to explain this or perhaps run a better simulation
