That upwash is due to the ''kick'' generated from the floor bulge and I think its there in order for the ''kick'' to re-energize the flow all the way to the back of the car.101FlyingDutchman wrote: ↑23 Feb 2023, 14:19Strange little upwash region below the Hewlett-Packard sign though. Bet that’ll get looked at and changed. Otherwise, my my, cleanest flow vis around a pod on the floor I think I’ve ever seen
Thank you. It “looked intended” as it’s so clean but hard to tellbauc wrote: ↑23 Feb 2023, 14:32That upwash is due to the ''kick'' generated from the floor bulge and I think its there in the order for the ''kick'' to re-energize the flow all the way to the back of the car.101FlyingDutchman wrote: ↑23 Feb 2023, 14:19Strange little upwash region below the Hewlett-Packard sign though.

There is a vertical slit in the diffuser of RB19 . I think it's to increase the efficiency of the diffuser.
It's not visible on the other side though. That user has blocked me in the past for pointing out that they report incorrect info. I wouldn't trust it
Here it looks like a slit in other direction. Looks more like a patch of paint on diffuser or a thicker part, with sandwich material inside composite laminate.

Teams have already started using those mini Diffuser kicks. Ferrari and Alfa Romeo had it on their car around midway through 2022, and no doubt some other teams will have added themVenturiation wrote: ↑23 Feb 2023, 16:08organic wrote: ↑23 Feb 2023, 16:07https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FpqCsuoWAAU ... &name=orig

Can others teams use this image to reverse engineer it?
If I understand right these kicks are vortex generators, or I am wrong?organic wrote: ↑23 Feb 2023, 16:07https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FpqCsuoWAAU ... &name=orig

Almost organic.
