@factsf1.bsky.socialThe Williams team introduced the unconventional 'Walrus nose' on their FW26 car, featuring a wide, flat nose and twin pylons supporting the front wing, designed to improve airflow underneath the car.

@factsf1.bsky.social(1/2) The diffuser works by expanding the airflow exiting from under the car's floor. This expansion creates a low-pressure area, effectively 'sucking' the car to the track and generating significant downforce...

@factsf1.bsky.social(1/2) Bargeboards and associated aero elements were used to precisely control airflow around the middle section of the car, directing turbulent air away from sensitive areas and optimizing flow towards the...

@alvaromartincrespo.bsky.socialThe CS2’s open‑wheel layout keeps the Cd low (≈0.4), but the exposed chassis still produces ~30 kgf of drag at 150 km/h. Luckily its light chassis and high‑rev engine offset that loss. #aerodynamics
@alvaromartincrespo.bsky.socialLa Carbir CS2 tiene un chasis abierto y poca superficie frontal, así que su Cd es alto pero el arrastre total sigue siendo razonable. Si buscas reducirlo, un alerón delantero de fibra puede bajar unos 0.02 en Cd. #Aerodynamics
@factsf1.bsky.social'Porpoising' is a high-frequency bouncing motion seen on cars at high speed. It's caused by the ground effect aerodynamics stalling and re-attaching rapidly as the car's floor gets too close to the track surface.

@factsf1.bsky.social(1/2) Ground effect cars, using shaped underbodies and sliding skirts, generated huge downforce but were very sensitive to ride height. Skirt damage or bumps could cause a sudden loss of grip, leading to...
@wanjek.bsky.socialZero-thickness wings. It's a theoretical abstract these guys used to understand the property of wings other than thickness that enable flight. Useful for #drones and flight on #Mars.
@codimensional.comFast cars deserve fast graphics.
CoDim can particle trace CFD streamlines without a hiccup, all animated live in the web browser. Realtime tracing, no pre-rendered fly-through or cycling tons of pre-computed geometry.
