Could a fan blowing air back behind a cyclist's back act like a rear fairing (like the one used by Oscar Egg in the picture on the left) to achieve less turbulence behind so also less drag? Could be connected mechanically or electrically with a dynamo.1yr ⋅ blackwhattack ⋅ r/aerodynamics
Why do these form? It forms on all the airfoil designs I try to make, is it like an issue with the simulation or is it some effect?1yr ⋅ donutboi420 ⋅ r/aerodynamics

Can someone explain why the lift force is decreases when i use strakes for an undertray? (Downforce decreases about 32N, dragforce has similar value)3yr ⋅ RedPanda_A3 ⋅ r/aerodynamics
Any reason why there are vortex generators in front of the canopy ? Makes no sense to trip the flow to become turbulent there, unless im missing something2yr ⋅ harishrajan96 ⋅ r/aerodynamics

New to Aerodynamics so kindly bear with me. I have to find the minimum level flight speeds at 0, and 10,000m. From my understanding the minimum speed would be near stalling point? I just don't know which angle of attack, C_l, C_d to choose for calculations? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!!3yr ⋅ odimm101 ⋅ r/aerodynamics

McLaren speedtail. How does this not produce lift? Supposed to be the fastest straight line McLaren ever. Shape reminds me of an airfoil, and I find it hard to believe that this won’t have stability issues at 250 mph (coanda effect?). I obv trust McLaren engineers, but I’m just curious.5yr ⋅ 555san ⋅ r/aerodynamics

This is the rear wing that I was talking about. For the data that I’ve shown, the inverted wing to which the arrow points too is the one being changed per test. At the test that I showed earlier, it was fixed at 35 degrees (high AoA).6yr ⋅ [deleted] ⋅ r/aerodynamics
