So as part of my job on the le mans team im asked my opinion on some aero bits and bobs. i also have access to some cfd software and Craig and myself have been talking about rear wings and endplates in particular. i havnt got a model of any of the wings on our cars or a model of a celica but i have got models of out le mans car wing so i thought i would play around with that... it is a two element wing with a mandetory gurney flap on the trailing edge. i ran a simulation of the wing in free air flow (No car body in front) to get a pure assesment of what the wing does at an air speed of 30m/s (67mph) with out any end plates. here are the screen shots: Picture1 Top view of the wing with surface pressures Picture 2 underside view with surface pressures Picture 3 top view with flow lines Picture 4 Underside with flowlines Picture 5 section with flowlines im off to make my tea but will be back later with some more on what im looking into
