Hello everyone,
I was looking at ecomoder.com and they have an aerodynamics section with this cool little website that shows somewhat of how liquid flows over and under the car.

I just though this might help some guys here.
here is the website

And to help out this is the model i used.
convert it to BMP format

none of the links works, maybe it's just me

Edit: nevermind it was my computer

I've tried a couple of times now and can't get the bmp you posted to work. The other options on the website work for me, but the upload you own picture version seems to return an broken file for the movie. What settings did you use when you got it to work?

EDIT: Hmm, I think I figured out at least part of the problem. The background of the image doesn't seem be pure white. I'll have to try again later at home, where I have better tools to edit the image.

EDIT AGAIN: Nope, still didn't work for me

Hey Omar, I finally did get it work!

Also, thanks for the videos, unfortunately I don't think they are very accurate. First of all, the wings look way too thick relative to the car. Did you just use a profile of the side plates or something? Second, it doesn't look like you changed the default Reynolds number, and I don't think the 1000 they run it at is very relevant to the aerodynamics of a street car.

I can try and upload some videos later that I think have more accurate airfoils and Re.

Ohh please, i just saw this and havent really experimented on it , i dont know what these # mean. on the forum i goit it from they explain it but im still not getting it.
post some vids of what u did !
thanks for looking at it

hey everone, my friend helped me to do a 60 mph flow
we used Re of 25458000, de of 0.01 and the sec of 50.

looks more realistic

Nice!

I wonder how a profile of my car would look on this flow illustrator.


Are Flow Illustrators used to design race car aero mods?

Thank in advance.
