im confused as to the rotational direction of the floor edge vortexes at 13:21. with the split edge floor, if the high pressure is above the floor, wouldnt the generated vortex actually pull air down from the undercut since it is spinning counter clockwise? (when looking from the front)
@f1aerodynamicist Жыл бұрын
Well, thats the catch, the tendency is that, as you would think , but the convection in the flow you setup with the outwashing vanes and the floor loading is such that by pushing the flow out, you seal the floor from the usual tendency of the air to seep in.

@@f1aerodynamicist so I guess the game is to keep that out washed air from underneath the floor energized enough so that it reaches as far rearward as possible with the preffered vortex?

@@Jay-nk6dm let's say, one of the games 😂, there's lots more going on , so we have to be humble when we simplify things, because most of the physics is vortex dominated.

Is the reason the flow still forms a vortex that the pressure on top of the floor is still lower than the freestream? Otherwise I don’t see why it would curve inwards

As a Red Bull Racing fan, thank you personally for the work you put in to the seasons you were there. It's rare we get to see the faces behind building such an impressive car. As an F1 fan, thank you for all of the insight, it's quite amazing to see what they do to usually overlooked parts of the car, like the floor, winglets and so on! Great stuff!

the floor works by speeding the flow and expanding it? with more expansion lower pressure?

The fences have so much potential, it's a shame we don't get to see the fence design of the teams. The regulations give you crazy liberties to improve them. 50mm fillet radius, 25 degrees of curvature in the z plane, 50 degrees of curvature in the x plane. Freedom to place them wherever you want in the box, and as long as they're not S shaped, you can camber and cant them. The fences are basically fans, like stators on axial compressors. They have a lot of the same flow structures like passage vortecies, and secondary flows that can cause losses, or gains. Believe, now that teams have a good grasp on how to manage the tire wake, improving the fences will top the list of priorities.

Im not sure i follow you with the vortex structure on the floor edge. The pressure gradient suggests two co rotating vortices in the slot and trailing edge. For reference think about an airfoils starting vortex.

Thanks for the great video again man! Why do you think the outwash effect of the floor is so important with these regulations? Loving the pre-season tech analysis, hope you keep it going this year
@f1aerodynamicist Жыл бұрын
It was always important , but with the new regulations , the floor dominates the performance , and also manages a lot of the lower tyre wake which was done via big bargeboars in the previous regulations. You had more tools to play with in the older regulations

Why would a higher floor have less loading? Does it have to do with ground effect?
@f1aerodynamicist Жыл бұрын
Exactly 💯. Thats is the primary loading mechanism close to the ground
@fam.hunger5244 Жыл бұрын
Great Video! But what i can't get my head around is - why is it that the inlet of the underfloor is a high pressure zone? And why is it that the higher the leading edge of the floor the lower the pressure?
