@1:52 You can see the way the recirculation bubble creates an optimal shape for the air in that region(by the way it's accelerated). Had they put bodywork over the recirculation region, the drag would have reduced by ~15 counts right there alone.
"[...] I'm actually really impressed with the brick" It's this type of quote I was looking for in a video like this, and I got it in the first minute 😁
i dont know the limitations of the simulation, but it would be awsome to make an analysis of an airplane, maybe its drag coefficient compered to a car with really good aerodynamics
FYI 3:46 just points to the close captions button. There is no link in the top right hand corner of any RUclips app. Just say you put it in the description and put the arrow pointing down because unless you physically put a link there there is never going to be one.
How about doing an analysis of wind deflectors in front of the wheels. Typically the either ramps (see Model Y) or vertical walls (see Mini or BMW) but I have seen papers were the used D shaped objects in front of the front wheels to guide the flow around. I think one Ferrari had those. And how about those guide vanes like the Porsche GT3 RS has after the front wheels to push the turbulent flow to the outside.
Whats your computer specs? And mesh size vs iteration time. I’m building a new pc for my thesis and looking for something good that doesn’t cost a lot. Thinking in a xeon 2697a v4 (although I found a used threadripper 1920x withing pricerange)
I always compare my wife's 2019 Ford EcoSport with a brick dragged through the water. I m pretty sure that the EcoSport will perform almost similar to the Landcruiser because they have almost identical body shapes, Ford being shorter though.
Somehow I think you should show us the aerodynamics of the most sould vibrator, for educational purposes of course 😂😂😂, that's a nice April fools upload for sure, but we want that earlier 😜
All that centered high pressure on the grille, and low pressure underneath just ahead of the wheels (and behind the cooler pack) is for cooling. Remember that unlike the brick, these are made to tow and work under high loads at low speeds. The brick just gets to sit around 🙂
Can you PLEASE put the brick on the list?
This, I was a bit disappointed on the brick not on the list. It's a perfect reference point for all the other cars.
Please
I actually didn't think you were gonna respond, but thanks for that. This is why you are the goat.
Thanks! Stay frosty.
This is the real stuff, now I want to see a brick with a splitter, spoiler and a few vortex generators
Volvo 240 Wagon vs Brick would be an interesting follow-up video
Yes. Would love too see that. And the 745. And the Aston Martin Lagonda
🤩🤩🤩
Volvo 240 vs a 2x4 Lego brick stacked on top of a 2x6
A vehicle that is actually called “the brick?” Lol
you mean 850
Also the leaning tower of Citroen from TopGear Motorhome challenge
The brick is in fact impressive
Very well engineered i say
Flow stays attached
It is my building material of choice.

Genius.
Made my day

Car vs plane at mach 0.82 lol

Ya but the brick is much better looking.
Can you try a ‘92 to ‘95 original rx7 ?
Next up: One of my aerospace buddies once said: 'With enough power you can make even a brick fly.' How good of a wing is a brick actually?
That is true. Power fixes everything.
That's how the F-4 Phantom was created
can you do the 80s toyota supra? (mk3) pls pls pls
Could you do the VW Golf MK4? Or perhaps the MK4 R32?
could uou do a 2020 chevrolet beat? Id like to see how my can with wheels rescts haha
Could you please see the drag coefficient of the Peugeot 308 SW 2015? They have not put out a number officially
Please do little cube that the Jeep Renegade is
the aerodynamics of the Volvo Bricks 240, 740 and 940? (all estate of course)
Could you do gen 4 Prius aerodynamics
You guys should do the volvo 850 T5-R
How about doing the Mazda mx-5 ND RF? Comparing the notch to if it were a true fastback.
Wouldn't one of those flat front semi trucks with a full trailer be closer to a brick
Yep.
Also, can you do the narrow body 2005 Corvette
yeah what about Supreme brand brick though?
can you please make a video on the Mercedes EQS, that shit is literally shaped like an elongated bubble

Can you please do a video on how opening gullwing doors affects aerodynamics? they are still wings lol
Me owning a LX570. Yes, brick physics.
HAH!! I was waiting for this one😅
technically a brick has an aerodynamic coefficient of 1. it can only be worse if you do it on purpose, like a parachute
It depends on its length too.

Lol
Don't forget they are also made to get recalled and have issues
2015 toyota avanza
The brick is quite close to the humble Ahmed body, only the nose is different.
That's true! And given how many various of the Ahmed body there is, I guess it could qualify as one.
an FJ cruiser is more brick shaped than a brick
