Looks like they are using more of a squarer diffuser

Yes exactly, a team can have all the listed facilities etc, etc, but what really goes into the design/tunnel is the result of creative thinking and understanding what they want it to do.Henk_v wrote: ↑02 Jun 2023, 12:21That floor edge is so much a design that only an intelligent and creative human could have designed and NOT any CFD optimization. Look at how the wing is actually rotated along it's curvature like a mobius. Whats the upside of the foil on the front is down on the rear part. The twisted and sculpted the wing and floor to get many interacting edges and surfaces.

This detail almost looks like it's designed to imitate a gurney flap at the corner.BlueCheetah66 wrote: ↑02 Jun 2023, 12:26https://twitter.com/dr_obbs/status/1664 ... 98688?s=20

I would have described their old diffuser shape more as imitating a gurney flap. The outer edge of their diffuser was near enough vertical I believeAR3-GP wrote: ↑02 Jun 2023, 15:53This detail almost looks like it's designed to imitate a gurney flap at the corner.BlueCheetah66 wrote: ↑02 Jun 2023, 12:26https://twitter.com/dr_obbs/status/1664 ... 98688?s=20

The diffuser corner change has been inspired by the w14 (pic from @danielealofan)SiLo wrote: ↑02 Jun 2023, 15:00From Ferrari I believe?BlueCheetah66 wrote: ↑02 Jun 2023, 12:26https://twitter.com/dr_obbs/status/1664 ... 98688?s=20

Could it be RB are using the steps in the floor to reduce drag in a similar philosophy used in boats to reduce drag?SiLo wrote: ↑01 Jun 2023, 10:31https://i.imgur.com/lC9yt9E.png
Just trying to highlight some of the curvatures of their underfloor.
It’s distorted picture though! Look at the wheels and front wing! It’s clearly edited to try and make the floor look straight…Andi76 wrote: ↑03 Jun 2023, 07:40I think this is look at the floor that has not existed before

Totally different mechanism , as you also quoted they use it to raise the boat above the water (aka drag loss via that). In terms of local drag even in those boats it increases local drag but that's worth as it lifts the boat.Chuckjr wrote: ↑03 Jun 2023, 09:14Could it be RB are using the steps in the floor to reduce drag in a similar philosophy used in boats to reduce drag?SiLo wrote: ↑01 Jun 2023, 10:31https://i.imgur.com/lC9yt9E.png

“The most recent change in this design over the past decade has been the incorporation of strategically placed notches or steps in the hull. The steps create air bubbles, raising the hull off the water on a drag-reducing cushion.”

Its why the RB floor has three kicks instead of everyone else's one.Chuckjr wrote: ↑03 Jun 2023, 09:14Could it be RB are using the steps in the floor to reduce drag in a similar philosophy used in boats to reduce drag?SiLo wrote: ↑01 Jun 2023, 10:31https://i.imgur.com/lC9yt9E.png

How so, what is the limiting factor? Are there any new, potentially unknown effects, that would make some geometries cause opposite pressure distribution to what they usually do?Hoffman900 wrote: ↑03 Jun 2023, 14:12The entire floor is a collection for vorticies, with a big one off the back of the strakes. Other than knowing that, it’s hard to say beyond that without calibrated CFD, measured data, etc. Flow isn’t laminar like a bunch of people are imagining.
