Rear Diffusser Design For Race Car?
(OP)
Hello
Can anyone answer this please?
I need to manufacture a rear diffusser for a Supercar/Race Car.
In plan view does the trailing edge of the diffusser need to be straight, or can it be curved?
Many thanks
Marcus

Everything should be designed as simple as possible, but not simpler.

Something else you all may be-able to shed some light on:
If the diffuser angle is too steep, does the air stall?
What do you think is the max angle?
Thanks for the help

I think too much angle causes seperation and turbulance, which kills the efficientcy. The number of strakes will make a difference too. My understanding is they help clean up the turbulant air from the rear tires. I've noticed the C6R's, running alot more strakes in the diffuser, and Prodrive always seemed to use alot.

Hanley has a couple design programs for wings - check his website.
