Aerodynamics video generator

Postby woodywrkng » Fri Jun 19, 2015 7:03 pm

I don't recall seeing this discussed before, so I'll just throw this out and see what you think. Using the website http://www.flowgenerator.com you can create a 2-dimensional video of the air flow around your trailer. First you must create a bitmap of the trailer, using Microsoft Paint for instance. You upload the image, wait a few minutes, and download your video. Here's the image I used, 133114, with the video available at https://youtu.be/GoRRqOst-OA When I included the ground, it messed up the whole simulation, so this isn't terribly accurate, but it is interesting.

Interesting. I'd like to do that with my tow vehicle included.

Holy moly, I sure screwed up that website. Yes indeed PMullen, http://www.flowillustrator.com is the correct link. It seems I can't do two things at once :NC Tony is absolutely right, adding the tow vehicle would be ideal. I've also posted an overhead version of my trailer at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GfZGQz_9mE

I would be more interesting to see the whole tear/tow combo.

I've been going nuts with it for my race car. Exploring the idea of adding a wing out front in addition to the one up and in the back.



Thanks!
