Question for plucas...out of curiosity, are you using actual Scion CAD data (via SEMA tech transfer) or did you scan a car?
Good reading discussion, keep it up!! |
Airflow as a mind of its own for sure and that is why cfd is so interesting. Since the flow is almost always turbulent around a car at speeds that matter, part of cfd is trying to quantify the chaos of the fluid.
We tried to get SEMA to allow us in the tech transfer, but we aren't an established enough company with products
And since we do not have a scanner YET, the car was modeled using very good blueprints I found.
