I guess this is more a question for Andre... but how do the heat exchangers affect the flow pattern in the CFD computation? In real life I would expect the radiator vanes to straighten the flow... does that happen in our analysis?
Many, many questions. First of all congratulations to Variante. To me as well, as I said I would bet my money on him just after seeing only his car. It is well developed and deserves the victory.
There were actually issues with the simulation of his car. I only noticed late Friday and I knew they were to his disadvantage. As he won, I thought for the sake getting the results out, I left them as they were as he won anyways. Now that he stated thinking he would have been even faster, I am somewhat happy with my decision. I think though in order for me to not go crazy and to get things to a better quality, you guys will have to forget about the luxury of always getting the results the next weekend. I think for now, I will not challenge myself with this one week goal too much anymore and go to the two weeks as are announced on the calendar anyways. Maybe at some point, we will get some additional help for the MVRC staff. With the new teams there is much more additional work for me...
So back the the Machin question:
I guess it shows, it is a yes.
Now I will try to see what I can do for Talno...

Would it be the same with another layout? Ok, I stop complain, with a third slice the car would be completely revelaed 
), so here is a teaser of a small tech article I will publish tomorrow (hopefully) about my car. I think I will open a dedicated page, as we used to do in the good old days.
