You've saved my life. And I hope my exam too.

Audi A2

Awesome

Incredible video, i did not expect that from a car with such sharp edges, there is still have so much to learn

Do yku hav w video explaining the words you are using? Lile, high pressure, wake etc..

Instead of making them flat, could they be curved horizontally to reduce drag and dump the air on either side of the wheel? Would making these longer/hang lower have benefits? Or would it not be worth the increased chance of contact with objects?

thank you for these videos. you are a great teacher!

mhu if you want to collab on a video at some point. I make videos on making beamng mods, and I'd love to have you on to take some time to talk about beamng aero vs cfd programs and how you'd approach the subject for a game like it

New to the channel, so not sure if you've done it before but how about a video on how small cars aren't necessarily better regarding aero/drag. My suggestion is the Mr2 roadster/spyder (yes I have one) always been interested to know just how bad the aero is, especially with the awfully shaped soft top

Can you please test open vs closed side mirrors on a couple of body styles? Open they sure have a bigger area, but should also have a better drag coefficient?

can we have a aerodynamics video on tail fins from the cars from the early/late 50's, like the 1959 Plymouth Fury? I always wanted to know how tail fins performed on those cars from that era;

pls e30 m3

Have you thought about modeling the ford p68? It would be nice to see the difference between the earlier clean variations and the ones with a more aggressive front splitter/wheelhouse flow diverter and rear spoiler.

Interesting. On the Audi A6 Sportback e-tron, claimed to be Audi's slipperiest car ever at Cd of 0.21, one of the items they credit is an efficient rear diffuser. A saloon/sedan from Dongfeng, Forthing Xinghai S7, claims a remarkable Cd of 0.191. Where do you think the limit is for these types of cars, as not that long ago such values would have seemed utterly fanciful?

Yesterday I've been passed by a Corvette C4 and it looks so pointy that I wondered:"is it aerodynamic?"

you should also do a video on the audi a7

you should do the famous flying car (mercedes clk gtr)

That front lip also works in engines, to prevent reversion.

can you do miata nc please?

Great diffuser, but will be rejected by the TUV. Car parts which extend beyond the body are illegal in Germany. Australian-only version perhaps?

4:52 The regera butt makes me go 🥵. Honestly that entire car is soo beautiful. Especially those head and tail lights🥴.

You should partner or have your own tuning parts company! People could actually improve their aerodynamics with your parts

Can you try the Passat B3? Maybe the sedan with and without the spoiler?

Wish audi didnt design their cars to place the engine in front of the front axle. The A4 has good proportions, but because of that engine placement, and FWD without Quattro, I hate imagining the A4 lumbering around corners and understeer to oblivion.

If you made one on the BMW F30 I'd subscribe and be your best friend 🙏

the content is gold bro but UA-cam does not recommend gold videos

would love to see vw XL1 on this channel

Hi, I have a question. What are some ways to force the air to stay attached to the back of the car? Are vortex generators really the only option? Also at what airspeed do you do your simulations? I would imagine at specific speeds the airflow behaves differently? Wouldn't their cd be constantly changing?

You didn't test it, you simulated it... Ask f1 teams about that

Your voice changed and it kind of made me nervous.

How to make such models on aerodynamics please help

most of cars you makes a video have so many obviously flaws, how do they don't see them

Please do the NC Miata next 🙏

Damn didn't even talk about the high wings on the GC8s

I'm currently studying industrial engineering, and until now i have seen very limited amounts of fluid dynamics. Your videos really initiated (?) a large interest in fluid dynamics for me. I'm not sure how in depth my degree will go, but I might study this a bit more in depth after my degree is we don't see enough of it.

The BMW E60 530i lci has a CD of 0.26 They said they achieved this without active radiator shutter abd without wheel air guide (air curtains). You can be the first one to make a video about it. Very very interesting sedan design.

So there's a transverse vortex that forms over the top of the tire, no wonder the surrounding airflow influences it that much. Lateral flow will increase the transverse vorticity, which is why you can make the top of the wheel generate downforce.

To add, cars also have different Ackermann steering. Anti-Ackermann will make the outside wheel turn towards the corner more than the inside wheel, and that yaw relative to the corner has a big influence on the aerodynamics of the tires. On the one hand, Anti-Ackermann is good for putting heat into tires, because of the outside scrub, but it makes the aerodynamics worse. Whereas Ackermann where the inner wheel turns more than the outer wheel is better aerodynamically, but worse from a tire heating POV.

F1 like race cars can exploit a fair bit of downforce from the tires. By having a wing in front of the tire, you're blocking flow that would otherwise produce tire squirt. Add in some bargeboards behind the wheel, and you create the best case scenario. Lower static pressure at the front of the wheel, and raise it behind the wheel. The front wing upwashes air, and accelerates it inboard of the wheel. The end result is the tip vortex of the wing, counter rotates to the lift producing lower wheel wake, which then further keeps the wake outboard, since counter rotating vortices tend to repel each other. Furthermore, by reducing the lower wheel wake with the wing and barge board, you can also strengthen the upper downforce producing wake. Typically since the wheel is in ground effect, the lift producing vortex is almost always stronger than the downforce producing one above. Not to mention that since the wheel is a rotating cylinder the wake tends to be unsteady and almost like a Von Karman street.

With all these reccomendations you must have a very long list of cars to do 😂

Soooo cool! So I have crazy questions - could your imaging be used to reverse-aerodynamic study a pattern on a slice of atmosphere frozen in time?

We just have to see the Mercedes W124 tested, regardless of it's boxy shapes it's (too?) much praised for it's aerodynamics... but is/was the allegedly "best designed car ever" really as good as claimed? And if possible - with and without the merc logo in the front!

Just a thought - this could be one to test in the Catesby Tunnel in the UK, especially for high-end motorsport where cost doesn't matter (much). But whether the tunnel owners would want two cars running at 100-150 mph in close proximity is another matter!

Do a video on the aerodynamics of the ferrari testarossa ane how much aerodynamic those side- strakes are

I've had this "urban legend" stuck in my mind for years, that the old, original, not modified R5, at top speed would weigh just 6 kgs 😂 could there be a truth to that?

The problem is that the rear bumper acts like a parachute. Many people have had their rear bumpers fly out at over 150mph on the modified cars. There is no sheet or plastic that redirects airflow from the inside of the rear bumper.

Does your modelling take in to account air flow through the front grill?

Excellent! I'm still hoping you can do the different versions of Vector W8s and AWX3

Now do Cadillac Cian 😂

Hi, can u analyze the aerodynamics of the Mercedes Evo2 ? There was the saying that one of BMW CEOs made fun of the wing, because it can not create downforce. "and if it does, we have to change our wind tunnels" which came out to be true.. so BMW changed their wind tunnels.
