- This video is analysis of the floor of a Suzuki GTi. Being a car from the 1980's considerations to the total vehicles aerodynamics was minimal. Performance improvements therefore take few modifications.

Very cool videos! I remember searching this topic a while ago and so little quality content appeared!
Thank you!
When you are doing the spinning around shots of the car model, can you spin it a bit slower? You get dizzy if you focus on it too much, just slow the rate down.
awesome series. massive amount of work you have done there.
Just got into aerodynamics, I'm a complete noob but your content gives the visual aid to make it easy
Impressive analysis, this is very cool!
Can you add arrows pointing to what you're talking about?
is it worth blocking air from getting to the tyres, like a guide vein between the centre line and the inner tyre? potentially angle it to suggest sending the air towards the part of the sideskirt air tries to enter under the car?
If you are ride height restricted, no. If the splitter is free to behind the front wheels then pumping some air out behind the front wheels with strakes maybe an option to help the vortex along the side.
This is way to good of a job and way to interesting to risk loosing viewers due to rushing through the pictures and not clearly pointing out what’s of interest. With for example arrows.
I also guessing many viewing at their phones, making more then a split screen for comparison, a bit to hard to see.
Love the work.
You clearly put a lot of time in to it and know what you are talking about.
It just needs to be finessed. Talking details here.
And yes, I can pause etc. and I do for the things am really interested in. But for “a relaxed way finding out what effects different things have”, it’s not really it.
As said, love the work. Especially the hot hatches and such as they are so much closer to mist of us then a F1 car.
Just some thoughts. All intended as positive as possible.
Thanks, I really needed a third eye early on. I watch most videos at 1.5, then when you make the video you known the content, its really difficult to slow it down...... also those detailed editing takes frick'n ages, I have way more respect for video editors now
That was more or less exactly my thoughts and analysis.
When you know “what’s coming” it’s natural to get a feeling of that you stating the obvious.
Can imagine that editing is a pain. 😬🫣
Don’t worry, you got this.
As I’m no professional in video editing, just a simple fellow engineer and subscriber, I’m sorry that I can’t give any real advice or links to good examples.
Thanks for sharing all this work.
As of today I used it as inspiration, discussing aero on a Corvette C6 endurance car.
I'm glad i found this channel, love the hatch series.
Is it possible for someone to do this kind of modelling at home (is the software obtainable) if so I'd love to be able to do this for my own track car instead of doing it 99% the old school trial and error way.
I'm sure content on teaching people how to DIY would be very popular... 😉
All of this is done at home with consumer grade software and hardware.
I use: openFoam and onshape. There are few solid modeling software option, even blender can be used.
@@nelsonphillips solid modeling, you mean: with CAD building the object and then transferring it into the flow simulatioon program?
Thanks already in advance.
4:14 for the image on the right, the vortex rotation noted, is the arrow drawn the correct way? from how the data is shown i wouldve thought the vortex is rotating clockwise, not counterclockwise as shown
you are correct, there are two corotation vorticities. I finally discovered a much better way to visualise vortex rotation...bit late for this video
@@nelsonphillips thanks for clarifying. You do a great job by the way. If you had time, more videos like this for the f1 structures would be really interesting
