Post concept validation muffins are out of the oven.
I really dont think you can rush all of this over a few days as others have said it takes weeks for parts to be made, this was the plan all along, maybe 1 or 2 parts have been decided that they need right now but not all of the update they have brought its clearly been planned.
Barcelona is another 2 and half months away! If you have not already read a post that I posted a few days back, please read it.

That's not exactly how it works.
Looks like it curves outward with the high pressure spilling over the top to the lower pressure. Correct me if I'm wrong.
This is the kind of technical analysis I come here.

However, during the first week of testing they decided that they need to check it rather sooner than later and bring it now...pantherxxx wrote: ↑26 Feb 2019, 13:53What's the point of building a B spec car? I think it means that they had massive problems with their A spec, so they had to bring these rushed out updates. Reminds me of Mclaren last year.
That part is not wrong, but that's also not everything to it. Firstly, there are lots of streamlines in that zone, it's not a single one that is flowing trough multiple vortex generators. Those vertical elements are used to enhance the flow turning outboard, consequently decreasing the velocity, increasing pressure and therefore increasing the floor edge vortex. Also, tips of those vertical elements are shaped in a way that disperses the pressure difference creating the vortex.
So it's rotating around the edge of the floor, not above and carried out by the slots. Thanks!Vanja #66 wrote: ↑26 Feb 2019, 14:54That part is not wrong, but that's also not everything to it.

So, all in all, those elements are used to enhance the floor edge vortex. Vortices created above the floor are minimized, as having low pressure vortex core on an upper surface is counter productive for enhancing downforce of the car.
