A2 Wind Tunnel videos

[California98Civic]

Cd's postings today of video from the A2 Wind Tunnel, especially this one, got me curious and I decided to share a few I found by searching their youtube page. The first two are the more thorough, including shots of the aft areas of the vehicles. The tunnel does a lot of race cars, of course, but these are "stock," roughly.

A 1971 Dodge Daytona (beginning 2:10 they test back end and spoiler):

A 1971 Plymouth Superbird (front wheels at 1:45, beginning 2:14 back end):

Here are two series of tests on various Vettes, and I found it interesting to see how the hood interacts with the windshield on the various models:

You can see the circulation reverse flow into the louvered backlight area due to the separation as the slope 'rushes' to 22-degrees,then witness the 'jump' as the air re-attaches atop the extended trunklid.
It's about the only way to see the 3-D flow aspects of a body.
Thanks mucho for surfing for these videos!
