There was a period in the early 2000s when they directed their exhaust upward to create more downforce too.

@Unamatrix01 Жыл бұрын

That is correct, the teams used the Coandă effect with the exhaust gases following the contours of the body work to either energize the rear diffuser flow or increase the flow differential of the rear wing and the Y250 mid-plane wing as well.

@AndyFromBeaverton Жыл бұрын

@@Unamatrix01 When the exhaust vented rearward in 2014 they directed it at the 'monkey seat' so it would vent upward under the bottom rear wing. It's funny that Minardi first developed this idea in the mid-90s.

@leo1fun Жыл бұрын

The reason ferrari introduced periscopic exhaust pipes in 1998 was not to create downforce, it was purely a thermal problem with the materials at the time. Later it was found to bring some nice benefits and got widely adopted by other teams, though. Blown diffusers had been a thing for decades (albeit in a different manner than the 2011 version), but with the massive rev range in the late 90s, teams started to move the exhaust a bit away from the diffuser because it was making it too sensitive to throttle response. So that was another reason why the periscopic pipes eventually took over.

@SteelyEyedMissileDan Жыл бұрын

Fun fact: the upward-swept "zoomie" headers on Top Fuel dragsters actually function like rocket engines. At wide open throttle, those 500-cubic inch (8.2L) supercharged V8s spin up to 8,500rpm, cramming air into the cylinders at 65psi above atmospheric pressure (which is insanely high even for a modern ball-bearing turbocharger spinning at well over 200,000rpm, let alone a belt-driven Roots blower), along with 1.5 gallons of 90/10 nitromethane/methanol blend fuel per second. These engines see mean effective pressures up to 1,450psi and power figures in the neighborhood of 11,000hp. The sheer amount of reactionary mass being blasted upward and slightly rearward out of the exhaust pipes is capable of producing almost 1,200lbf of thrust, mostly directed downward to squash those massive ultra-soft drag slicks into the pavement.

@batman9823 Жыл бұрын

I'm not going to get into an argument about it but it is absolutely about the car being "sucked" down, not being "pushed" down that creates downforce. Basically F1 cars use the principles that enable planes to fly in reverse. Intuitively it would seem they are being pushed down but they are actually being "sucked" to the ground. This is the way these principles described work, otherwise pushing air flow at the bottom of the rear would create the opposite effect of "pushing" the car upward and, thus, decreasing downforce

@Arsenic71 Жыл бұрын

@@batman9823 Physically speaking there is no suction force. There is a pressure differential and the high pressure area pushes towards the low-pressure side. Which makes it look like suction, but it isn't. But the point is moot anyway because we're both talking about the same thing: le downforce

@ericw.1620 Жыл бұрын

@@batman9823 suction is a result of higher pressures pushing against something and forcing it towards lower pressures. Think about a can of soda. The higher pressures inside are pushing the walls of the can towards the outside. This is the same mechanism as suction.

In a venturi pressure differential the lower pressure area definitely creates what you'd call a suction effect.

The idea of keeping engine airflow up without accelerating by retarding the timing to such a degree that combustion essentially occurs within the exhaust, which further fuels the aerodynamic effect of the exhaust design is utter brilliance. The fuel efficiency argument is reasonable, I guess, but it's still lame that all the clever ways teams find more speed within the regulations end up being banned.

Your description of the pressure difference above and below the car (commonly referred to as longer path theory) is a common misconception people often associate with how planes fly as well. Ignoring the chassis for a moment, the front and rear wing of the car are airfoils (wings on a plane are also airfoils, but in the case they are being used for downforce rather than lift). The assumption you're using assumes that two air particles from the atmosphere separate at the leading edge of the airfoil and then join up at the tailing end. Since one air particle has a longer path, it must have higher velocity, and thus a lower pressure. We cannot assume that the air particles will meet up again at the tail end of the airfoil, as this is not a realistic assumption. Also if this were true, symmetrical airfoils would not produce any lift. Downforce (and lift) is generated from redirecting or turning the airflow. In the case of the F1 car, the air hits the leading edge of the airfoil and is directed upwards as it moves along. The airfoil exerts an upwards force on the air and the air exerts an equal and opposite downwards force on the airfoil. The product of this interaction is downforce. I apologize if I am coming across as condescending to anyone, but I am just seeking to provide more accurate information to people
