Why Fake Air Curtains Are Actually Genius

In this video, we simulate the Honda Civic Si with real and fake air curtains to see how the drag coefficient, downforce, and underlying aerodynamics change. Using identical simulation conditions, we compare: Velocity, pressure, and streamline behavior Where lift is generated Where drag is produced Want your own car simulated? I also offer custom CFD simulations for vehicles and aerodynamic concepts. 👉 https://premieraerodynamics.com/Simul... Want to learn how to do simulations like this? These simulations were run using OpenFOAM. If you want to learn the fundamentals of OpenFOAM — and how to apply them to real engineering problems — check out my course here: 👉 https://premieraerodynamics.com/Courses/ Want to understand vehicle aerodynamics properly? I also teach: Automotive Aerodynamics — understand lift, drag, and wake behavior RC Aircraft Design — applied aerodynamics from the ground up 👉 https://premieraerodynamics.com/Autom... 👉 https://premieraerodynamics.com/RC-Ai...
