More drag reduction studies

[freebeard]

euromodder's latest post was in March, about the time of your first post, Mr Join Date 2009.

What are you looking for specifically? I wouldn't feel comfortable re-upping anything I have. A lot of it has been paywalled. Your best bet might be searching Ecomodder threads to see what others found of interest.

The interesting work was done at Coventry University and presented as Powerpoint slides, and by Robert Englar at Georgia State. So a search on Ecomodder on 'coventry' or 'englar' — or on the deep, dark web — might be of interest.

I'm interested in the LCVTP slides and pdfs from the first post, can you help?
Thanks

Well, I'm on a totally different system nowadays, but there's this in my albums:



The thread's about how the trail went cold, so what I did was to go to the first post and find the name Adrian Gaylard. I remember him from then, so I took that to Google. Last link on the first page of results is to some of his newer work. In the right sidebar is this:

The Effect of Base Bleed and Rear Cavities on the Drag of an SUV

Voila! Try page three. The docs I currently have saved out are available at:

In that first link, task 12.3 has a later version of the screenshot I posted and is a better paper overall.

I found another folder of stuff. Try: https://www.ara.bme.hu/oktatas/tanta...larch-drag.pdf

Your link is the same as the second I posted.

Thanks.

I've only gotten to 4.2. It's interesting how front wheel spats can affect the wake.
