I do have a limited amount of CFD ability w/ SolidWorks. If you've got
a model, I'd be glad to mess w/ it and see if I can get any answers for
you..

Jarrett

OK Jarrett. I'll work on a simple model. Can it be 3D?

Paul Lamar

Here are some 2D models. I think we can get a pretty good idea from
what is going on with 2D models. These are with and without side
rads. And also one without side rads at a 5 degree angle to the air stream
to see what happens when the AC is flown in a yawed condition.

Paul Lamar


Paul only one set of results so far.. I'm still playing and learning how to run this..

anyway.. it looks like there is a fair amount of seperation past the
50% chord line..

Jarrett

Yes. Not unexpected. Thanks

Paul Lamar
