Please point out the "tunnels" formed by the VGs.
Also, the vortex doesn't run under the floor as you state, it runs along the top edge of the floor.
How much do you make from this made up guff?

And that only happens in yaw?godlameroso wrote: ↑23 May 2019, 01:52You kids forget that aero is designed to work in yaw, not just head on. Several vortecies travel along the floor edge and are "braided" by the features near these little fins.
With word 'tunnels' I wanted to describe their physichal shape with curvature and expanding volume towards the edge of the floor.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑22 May 2019, 23:23Please point out the "tunnels" formed by the VGs.

the slots in the floor allow the vortexs to be split and passed underneath. You can see this from the head on photo.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑22 May 2019, 23:23Please point out the "tunnels" formed by the VGs.

The air you term as bleeding of upper and lower surfaces is the energized vortex, so I don't see a problem with the earlier explanation that you criticized as made up. You seem to have contradicted yourself in your last two comments, no?Just_a_fan wrote: ↑24 May 2019, 10:21The vortex goes along the top of the floor and inside the rear tyre to help with the diffuser sealing, I think. That's why they add those VGs on the top surface to help create a strong vortex that can travel the length of the floor. The floor edge slots are to allow bleeding of air between the upper and lower surface of the floor. This locally reduces the pressure difference and so "fools" the air alongside the car that there isn't a big low pressure zone to fill.
Can it be basically summarised asgandharva wrote: ↑24 May 2019, 18:22Imho these are vortex generators and vanes. They fulfill 2 purposes.
They act as a vortex generator to strenghten and energize the big vortex (especially the latter winglets) that is routed over the top of the floor, but they also break up this big vortex, and at the same time route air coming from below the sidepod cooling inlets, towards the big longitudinal slot in the floor to help sealing the floor.
Just look at the angle of those vanes. The ones towards the front are way more transverse to also break up airflow and the latter ones are angled more longitudinal to energize the vortex. Actually this is pretty cool!
Whats the maximum height those vanes are allowed to have in this area? I think building the ones at the front taller would increase efficiency even more.
I think it's not about wider or smaller. It's all about energy.
