In my opinion that is almost certainly the issue: the air feeding your cooling duct is only the air that goes under your front diffuser - that's a very small portion of the air that meets the front of your car: most of it goes over the top...etsmc wrote:is the issue purely because I am sending most of the air over the car?
Sounds very much like ParaView. I can't see the full simulations on my machine. You can try the followingHave had runtime errors with Paraview in the past, I have a couple of different versions installed just in case
Same for me. i just can't grasp the solidworks concept properlyYou say that but I have tried on numerous occasions over the last 4 years to get my head around Solidworks etc but to no avail.
I think its mostly modelling ability, Blindblom has always had these issues although this car is better than past entries
I feel the same. My vision is for KVRC to be encompassing and inclusive, not just for the select few. Everyone has to start somewhere and practice to get better. This challenge also has to deal with the technology arm-race...Anyway, it was only a suggestion. A small competition like KVRC will only get by and improve with ideas from those involved, shutting them down and dismissing the abilities of others wont help it.
It is a specific OF compilation. There is no change on the OCCFD side. I am running some tests to make sure the porous radiator works and will release (hopefully tonight). Also fixed is the pressure scale so that next round of image will make sense.Great news about the parallel solver! Thanks! Is the solution only related to a specific OF compilation (BlueCape) or it will work with other OF porting/virtualizations (CFDsupport, SimFlow, ESI, ...)?
Matteo, OCCFD is like every software, the next version will fix everything... not...I was thinking about it and I am convinced that a good compromise (waiting for the porous CFD model that would fix anything) would be to apply the reduction only to half of the total power:
I just meant that, with the poruos model, there will be no BC that generate not completely physical effects in particolar conditions, for example negative differential caused by the imposed flow, so no car would have zero power.julien.decharentenay wrote:Matteo, OCCFD is like every software, the next version will fix everything... not...I was thinking about it and I am convinced that a good compromise (waiting for the porous CFD model that would fix anything) would be to apply the reduction only to half of the total power:

When I had the idea for the introductory class I had similar thoughts... so (in case people missed it on my own KVRC topic) I've released a version of my "bodykit" which includes all the "non-performance" parts (yellow in image below). I have also added an STP file of flat "guide panels" which can be imported into sketch-up allowing the entrant to easily extrude front and rear wings and diffuser. Once you add your wings to my bodykit (yellow) and the official KVRC parts (dark grey), you will have a complete car. I honestly think you should be able to have a reasonable car in an hour or two this way, even if you have very little to no Sketchup experience.....julien.decharentenay wrote:I feel the same.

Wich is your car? What do you mean with "disappear"? In the CAD pictures or in the CFD simulation?Ft5fTL wrote:The internal ducts on my car disappears. Is that normal thing or am i doing something wrong?
Have a look at your compliance check email, specifically image 1. The internal duct bodywork was missing, so your entry was submitted using the cooling-intake and cooling-exhaust parts.Ft5fTL wrote:The internal ducts on my car disappears. Is that normal thing or am i doing something wrong?
