They were closed for the race. It was very cold today. The car struggled to keep tire temperature.Just_a_fan wrote: ↑18 Jun 2023, 16:53In wet conditions, probably not needed.vorticism wrote: ↑18 Jun 2023, 16:51No louvers for Canada.

Are the teams allowed to change cool gills in parc ferme?

I'm sure there is a GPT for that somewhere.AR3-GP wrote: ↑22 Jun 2023, 04:38This may be a bit subjective, but when I look at the contouring of the RB floor, there are some areas where it doesn't look like something that a human could draw. Some of the height variation and seemingly random scalloping (like a potato) almost looks like it's been generated using an adjoint method or some other optimization algorithm.
Clearly it's of a different level in detail than the competitors, that's obvious to even the most casual observers.AR3-GP wrote: ↑22 Jun 2023, 04:38This may be a bit subjective, but when I look at the contouring of the RB floor, there are some areas where it doesn't look like something that a human could draw.

they are using technology from oracle yacht racing but all team use cfd to some degreeFarnborough wrote: ↑22 Jun 2023, 08:22Clearly it's of a different level in detail than the competitors, that's obvious to even the most casual observers.AR3-GP wrote: ↑22 Jun 2023, 04:38This may be a bit subjective, but when I look at the contouring of the RB floor, there are some areas where it doesn't look like something that a human could draw.

But origins.....if the design team intent was calling for maximum volume in that space above the reference plane, then it just looks like a scan of the bottom of the car, sans floor. If those dimension were aggregated with conditional radius etc, then that would be a close assimilation of the floor we see now.
In essence, rather than approaching with the design direction of producing a inverted wing form, as the more simple floor example displays, create the component set to give the volume space asked for to maximise the volume in that area, then effectively "shrink wrap" it to produce the surface.
It's not as simple as that, I know that. But of very different intentions between the two design aims.
