Trebuchet03's JettKamm (2000 VW Jetta)

[trebuchet03]

Deelzer, the "value" is what the set of equations converged on whereas the average is the average of most (or maybe all) values.

Sketches will become available soon.

Yet again, I refined my solver.... The new results are MUCH more detailed and I feel MUCH more accurate as they results look closer to the cfd plots published by Mitsubishi. That means the longer the solver runs, the more complicated it gets by doing a series of refinements based on previous results. It does three refinements, and brings the calculation time up from a few minutes to about 3 hours.

Also, my solver must be buggy, or I'm screwing something up... I can't get batch runs in - it fails :/ So I can't just set it and forget it overnight and come back to a whole bunch of finished stuff...

Thanks for the post lunar, those are really useful...

It seems like it's much easier to design for a hatch-back since they don't have to deal with trunks that may or may not re-attach flow.

But without a trunk, there's less area to mount supports for whatever it is I'll be building

I wish there was a way we could provide cycles. It would be nice to have a distributed network helping treb out with the calcs.

Haha, thanks I've only got one license.

I'm not using one of my machines - except for cfd... It's not the most powerful, but, I turned hyper threading off and that cut a chunk of time of Results will come, soon I'm compiling everything, and will post a whole lot of stuff all at once

But I'm really excited how well things appear to be are going.

Eagerly awaiting! I seriously think I'm going to build one of these "novel" spoilers.

I looked up the published paper from that journal and they want 30 Euro to purchase it online! ridiculous.

Research isn't cheap

Don't know why I didn't check here first:
A Rear Spoiler of a New Type that Reduces the Aerodynamic Forces on a Mini-Van
11 bucks is more like it.
From April 2006... wonder why its taken this long to surface.

Ah...it's been published at the SAE. I can probably find it at the library. I wonder why it didn't make the transactions journal, which are supposed to be the best publications of the year worth keeping for posterity. I've been through most recent years journals and this spoiler deserve a place in there more than a few other things I read.

Can you check? My library doesn't have it :/

The journal database was "cut due to funding."

Hooray Florida governor {Christ} cutting $275 million from the university budget

I have the 2005-2007 journal of engines and journals of fuel and lubricants in front of me atm. Had the 2005-2007 journals of mechanical systems, in which it should be, during my previous loan.

I would surely have noticed this title when I went over the journal of mechanical systems. Sure enough, I just checked and it's not in the table of contents

I'll try to check if they have additional individual papers. I don't know if it's something they could have on cd.
