Yes, but it is a complicated analysis. You would have to have the radiator/condenser set as porous medium at the least and that wouldn't take into effect the heat transfer from the engine and exiting the radiator. I could run an analysis with all the variables, but it won't be for a little while. It takes forever to setup properly (not as simple as a few clicks) and would take a while to analyse various hoods. Maybe after I am done with the single element wing analysis and finalizing its design, I will start setting something like this up. :happy0180:
