Loved the explanations. Gave a proper look into the wind tunnel and how the team utilizes it for developing the car and the upgrades. Really unfortunate that there are so many limitations. One can only imagine how much more the car can evolve with unrestricted use of the wind tunnel. That said, Mercedes is great at adapting, and they will surely adapt to this and keep the charge going!!

Are you limited to what temperature you can run in the wind tunnel? For instance do you need to cool the air down to make the flow denser since the model is only 60%? or at slower top speed?

@AlexanderPanzeri 3 года назад

Thanks, well done again. You show again how FIA rules are not in the real/future age, like those crazy people said wind tunnel is “useless”, till NS equations system is not solved, Windtunnel must have free to ride in full scale and speed. I’m very worried of what can happen next year if you cannot run to full speed, luckily you have the safest car on the grid!

@dennisbrannvalls1fan964 3 года назад

Do you usually find much difference between computer simulation and wind tunnel tests? I imagine the software does the bulk of the heavy lifting and the practical tests are more for fine tuning?

@midnightfuture 3 года назад

As I understand it, the wind tunnel tests help with correlation-seeing how the computer simulations compare to, and where they differ from, the 60% scale model. That then allows them to tweak the parameters in the software model, and arrive at strong confidence in the predictive power of their model, which they can then use each race weekend in scenario planning and to inform strategy calls.

@buhuiuiui 3 года назад

I always wonder, can you simulate/test corners within a windtunnel? I read once, that the tilt of the front wheels due to steering drastically changes the airflow.

@YowserUK 2 года назад

Yes, the Wind tunnel rolling road is also a turntable, to be able to angle the car to flow simulating taking a corner. The models can also fully pitch and roll and the suspension can be loaded to simulate individual forces and tyre squish per corner.

@Gryllssy 3 года назад

@TimIgoe 3 года назад

So a big question then, if teams are constrained on how much time they can use the wind tunnel... and processing data from wind tunnel runs etc is quite a specialised role... what do those staff do when they aren't "allowed" to be working on the car in the tunnel.

@albertoharyono5045 3 года назад

can ask something? so there are 2 type of wind tunnels, the one that suck air from behind and blow from the front? because at first i think it blow wind from front and then i watch Slow-Mo guys, they show that wind tunnels works by sucking air from behind. and now on this vid they told wind tunnels are blowing wind. kinda confused, is it depend on the usage function?

@Anii6969 3 года назад

Can someone explain how anyone would know if you test more then your suppose to? I feel like if any team has their own wind tunnel they will be taking advantage of it. Unless there is some kind of official that has to be there but even then if they are not there, they could still run it and he/she would never know.

@YowserUK 2 года назад

The FIA have full access to the wind tunnel datalogging and remote camera access in the tunnel.

@eilois 2 года назад

What about cornering wind? Does the difference too small between straight line to actually implement it or is it just impossible to simulate?

@YowserUK 2 года назад

The Wind tunnel rolling road is also a turntable, to be able to angle the car to flow simulating taking a corner. The models can also fully pitch and roll and the suspension can be loaded to simulate individual forces and tyre squish per corner.

@hafizuddinmohdlowhim8426 8 месяцев назад

Did someone say data driven F1 livery performance in a wind tunnel? Data driven analytics, both on the track and in the wind tunnel, are great tools for predictive and prescriptive performance increases. Did you also know, machine learning model airflow simulation can further help increase predictive accuracy of testing for future added aerodynamic performance on the race track.

@lochlinrecht1427 3 года назад

If the Bernoulli principal allows you to create more downforce without adding a lot of drag why don't you add that to the top of the car? Instead of side skirts that turn up why not have a second skirt above that is in the shape of a long upside down airplane wing this would not be under the car so it technically wouldn't break the rules right?
