+KYLE.DRIVES Hey Kyle, since diffusers are essentially wings turned upside down wings, why don't we see multi element under-trays / diffusers ever? I know for a while f1 was using blown exhaust on their diffusers essentially making them "circulation control aerofoils" (before they were used to block the rear tire turbulance). Would multi element diffusers work if the car packaging and the rules permitted it?
Great explanation! Your last words in this video answered a question i have had for 10 years. Why are some wings multiple and some not? I am very happy no know.
Thank you for the easy explanation! Question though; Some top wings go up so steep, they're almost vertical. I's think that would create much more drag than beneficial downforce. So why are they so steep?
Your videos are so great sir! Im doing some cfd for f1 wings, and Im facing some troubles I have a 3 elements wing, but I don't know how to calculate the planform area Should I adjust all the 3 elements to zero AoA, then taking the planform area? Or should I consider all the 3 elements as 1 indivisual wing and then taking the planform area? And if I did the second choice, should the equvalent wing be in zero AoA or what?? Please let me know
GURken No that's actually a very different effect, the slipstreaming of cars effectively reduces the drag on both cars as the rear car fills the wake on the front car, and the rear car doesn't have as high a pressure on the front as it is in a low pressure wake. Multi element wings use the slot gap to energise the air on the second wing, preventing the flow from separating, and as such is not acting in the wake of the first wing. Thanks for watching!
All of your videos about aerodynamics are awesome, very easy to understand and allot of knowledge transfered from you. Congratulations, keep going!
Now with subtitles!
Great topic to bring up. I hope your videos get more attention than they are getting because you do great explaining things. Keep up the great work!
This makes sense. Nicely explained.

Very interesting video, thanks for teaching me something! I'm really trying to learn a lot about aero!!
Learned something new today
really great videos! i am learning so much!

Is it works exactly the same when a car is located in turbulent flow at slipstream?

Almost all of your videos have very low volume of sound.
Your audio needs improvement man. I like your work very much but they need more audio volume.
