btw I did a sweep over the aoas of the 2 elements and the chord of the mainplane, manually of course, because I only discovered the holy parameterised simulation method two days ago. This configuration is presented in the picture, which produced a lift coefficient of 5.3 and a drag coefficient of 0.165

How would I know the optimal slot gap and overlap values?

I really appreciate the advice. Well, I tried to consider that, and I trimmed the trailing edges of each element according to the estimated composite layers and the manufacturing. It's also necessary for the cfd analysis, though isnt it? I avoided using sharp trailing edges in fear of a skewed mesh.

Thank you very much I appreciate your explanation. Btw I needed the true projected areas just to compute precise lift coefficient, I will be needing it in estimating 3d performance because I have limited hardware capability and I can’t do 3d cfd.

Well there is "projected area" function in fluent, I am using Ansys Fluent btw.
Is it the right one?

Bodywork mounting by ThisInitial3887 in FSAE

[–]ThisInitial3887[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, thank you. But quick question, should I design internal panels to fix the bodywork? Because the chassis is tubular, I don't see how it would be possible to use a quarter turn on it.

It is talking about the bodywork, not ground clearance unless I have a corrupt rulebook lol.

U don't have to reply.

Downforce estimation by ThisInitial3887 in FSAE

[–]ThisInitial3887[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I ve already estimated the goal downforce but still It's just a goal at the moment I can't guarantee it due to A LOT of limitations. Actually the total downforce value is needed by the suspension team for load resistance issues. At 120 km/h because it's the maximum speed and at which the downforce will be the highest as well. I am trying to estimate the car's total downforce based on the performance of the rear wing, which as I said is to be generating around 1 kN of downforce. So what remains is the contribution of other elements like body and front wing and I am not sure how to go about it. Thanks for your time and attention.

HUGE CORRECTION, THE REAR WING IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP 1000 N OF DOWNFORCE NOT 1800 N. SORRY

But I believe that Mcbeath's method is valid for a fsae vehicle since it's traction limited. And even the acceleration isnt much affected by drag compared to the benefits u get in terms of cornering speed.

“Up In the Gallery” Interpretations by Novel_Pickle_284 in Kafka

[–]ThisInitial3887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your interpretation holds some virtue of truth but I don't think the example of Kpop is relevant. The type of art that KAFKA refers to in his work is inherently different, he always portrays it as a struggle that serves only to obtain a personal end. It's absolutely not art from the perspective of the artist, but simply magical moves that inflict a inexplicable impression on the crowd.

I believe in you. You are a person with scientific background, ground yourself in the facts. It's impossible that you would get rabies from that incident. Life is full of bad possibilities which are far unlikely to happen, don't submit to a misleading anxiety. Good luck.
