I did not like his phrasing at 0:56 about how a vacuum literally sucks the plane upward. A vacuum cannot exert a force. As an experiment, place your coffee cup on the table in front of you and place your hands either side just touching the cup. Move one hand away. Result - the cup stays where it was. Now put your hands back on the cup and push equally with each hand so that the cup stays still. While still pushing, move one hand away (this is easier to do with two people). Result - the cup moves towards the hand that is moving away (the low pressure side) - not because that hand is moving away but because now the other hand is exerting a force. In the same way, low pressure regions cannot exert a force on a wing - the force is applied by the high pressure region. It's contact with atmospheric gas molecules bouncing off the wing that is pushing it.

transition to the ad was smoother than the air over the center of the wing

And that air can stay attached. It won't in the case of a stall, but generally turbulent air isn't being detached just because it's turbulent.

F1 doesn't have a problem with developing fast cars. F1 has a problem with slowing down development enough with onerous restrictions to keep the sport relatively safe. The speed cars go at, velocities drivers are exposed to and the materials and shapes the cars are made up of can't outpace safety. That's the reason next year's F1 is going to have significant restrictions on how to generate downforce. Cars are getting too fast.

Thx really interesting that low pressure condensation and vortex also involves " Cavitation " but I'm not an aero engineer would be fascinating to understand blown diffuser ! Great stuff !👍

Vortex lift was actually only used to provide lift at take off and landing. Once above a certain speed the Concorde wing acted like a normal wing and generated lift in a normal convention :)

Great videos with good explanations. I would just add that vortices don’t create drag, they are a manifestation of the pressure difference. Drag is a combination of friction and pressure forces on rearward facing surfaces. Rw gills for example reduce drag by reducing high pressure on the wing upper surface. This means less pressure difference hence s smaller tip vortex is the result not the cause of less drag.

No, actually it is the opposite, because winglets reduces vortexes. Winglets create more drag but makes the the wings more efficient and can lift more.

About the little curved tips on the airplane wings as seen on most modern big planes today, those are "vortex killers". I remember as a kid I used to create those tips on paper-planes to make them more stable.

if you notice in the F2004’s rear wing you could see its moulded to slope down right beside the end plates in an attempt to minimize the drag and create less vortices. The second gen Ferrari powered A1GP cars also had this rear wing design as they are directly based off the F2004 specifically. Some F1 teams still use this too particularly Mclaren

This was an awesome explanation. Thanks

Hey, Driver61! I really liked this video, because I’m into F1 and aerodynamics. Also, I’m an aerospace engineer, and during the video, I was hopping you would specifically explain how they induce the inverted vortices to cancel the other ones. Furthermore, I wanted to know if those vortices would reduce the downforce produced by the wings. I was hoping you could share with me those informations or tell me where did you get them, for me to discover a little more. Or even do a more detailed video.

​@Eff yore Feelings Hey buddy. There are literally hundreds of race teams in the UK alone. However most are very small and run by the driver and a couple of mates (for example) and possess only basic equipment. Volunteering with such a team can still be a lot of fun and be greatly rewarding. Many championships, even at the lower end of sophistication, contain teams which run multiple cars and/or drivers. Such teams will employ mechanics etc and may take on volunteers to generally help. Then there are British championships such as BTCC, Clio Cup, F4, F3, GT's etc in which a lot of money is involved. As such there are often openings for competent folk and you can get paid for positions such as data engineer, race engineer, logistics, trucky as well as mechanic and general help. Facilities such as wind tunnels, due to costs, are limited to the top tier championship teams such as F1 and WEC and are also found at companies such as Lola, Prodrive, MSport, WIlliams Automotive etc. To be honest, the majority of employees at such companies will have progressed through higher education and have experience. But I'm sure that someone who displays the aptitude and determination does have a chance. Good luck and enjoy!

1:33 I would disagree with wing vortecies being unavoidable on planes as engineers put lots and lots time into getting rid of them. That landing plane in a sense has 2 sets of wings, one being the real wing and one being the flaps (meant to slow down the plane whilst greatly increasing lift). What we can see in that picture is that the only place these vortecies are made are the flaps of the airplane, as they can't have the parts wingtips can have to reduce these vortecies. There are lots of different ways to (mostly) get rid of these vortecies like tapered wings, wintgips that curve up or down or big bulging fuel tanks on the end of each wing that all stop high pressure air from the underside of the wing to get to the top of the wing around the wingtips

@onlyGGG

2 жыл бұрын

Wingtip vortices are unavoidable. The induced drag from them may be minimised but they can never be eradicated. Circulation is a fundamental part of lift generation and without the vorticity you have no lift. You see patented objects claiming to prevent them but it is all lies.

btw the biggest vortex come off the flaps (only deployed during takeoff & landing to increase the wing area -> lift in low airspeed) not "wing itself". Cruising speed the airplane has to be efficient, that's why new planes has winglets to reduce vortex off the edge of the wing.

I know I’m just nitpicking but the clips of cars from the 80s used to highlight Ground Effect are mostly of the 1985 Lotus and Ground Effect was banned in 1983 so only the clip of the static lotus showing the skirts was a true Ground Effect car. As for the vortex it’s always amazing to see these coming off the cars particularly for real when at a race. Love the videos very informative as always (sorry to nitpic 😬)

Con trails makes sense. good stuff mate

Be careful with how you use the word "turbulence." Technically turbulent flows (higher reynolds number) increases L/D

brilliant explained 😎 thx 🙏

Great video again, thanks👍

Can you talk about the 22’ rules about aerodynamic and also about 21’ new rules ? What’s the difference between each other and how does that help or hurt?

It is actually not just the pressure that causes condensation. Air can only hold as much water at specific temperatures. As we know, accelerated air cools down (otherwise fans would lose their effect.) If you have a high relative humidity, and warm air, it can hold much more water. But when the air cools down, it loses the ability to hold that water. So the water needs somewhere to go and starts condensing and forming those droplets because the air cant hold the water anymore since it cooled down through the rapid acceleration over the wings. That is also why you see the "clouds" in front of the jet engines from planes because the air gets accelerated so fast.

Fun fact The vortices you can see on the rear wing is actually McLaren’s logo

The principle you describe at 0:50 is not the cause of wings generating lift & helping planes to fly. The only thing required to generate lift in any wing is an angle of attack. The Bernoulli principle only makes them more efficient.

Turbulent air in itself is not a bad thing to have, rather air that has gone through a boundary layer and has suffered a change in pressure compared to ambient air. Flow attachment is critical to avoid flow separation and wake, thus an increase in drag, that’s why in planes’ wings there are vortex generators, whose function is to increase drag and allow for better flow attachment as that is a function of the associated energy that the fluid has.

Brilliant. Using vortices to block air from leaking from underneath the floor. 🤓

This channel is so good

Great content but how does low pressure help in condensation? Isn’t that the opposite?

Thanks what a banger of a video

They look so frickin cool

The reason why you can see the vortices in humid weather is the moisture is being squeezed out of the air. cool huh
