Auto Pressure Distributions

I thought it was interesting that this pressure profile matches very well with the 2nd gen aerodynamic flow profile that everyone has seen. Good for discussion on hood scoops and cowl inlets.



Shows pressure distributions on a vehicle at three beta angles (body axis relative to freestream).

Oh yea, in case you haven't noticed, I think the psia should be psig--can't have negative absolute pressures. So atmospheric pressure would be where yellow and green meet. Also, you can tell the speed is well over 120 mph as the stagnation pressures are over 0.3 psi--almost to 0.4.

Wish I had more info on this, I know some of you will ask.

looking at those nifty red patches at the front of the front fender makes me wonder howcome nobody uses that area for some nice intakes.
