Williams FW43B

Do you have a link to the old 2020 strakes, or is that something personal of yours? I'm around here so I don't really know my way around the forum.

Better if you model them by yourself, because i can't ensure their accuracy.
They're quite easy to make...just a couple of vertical extrusions.

Mainly I just don't trust myself to make the right vertical extrusions.

Something similar to these would be a good place a start, but cut short so they're all at the height of the step plane.

For those who have LinkedIn, Max Taylor has ran some CFD on the leaked car. He'll be posting more in the near future.

Looks like all the wheel internals are missing

Is it missing an internal duct/cover over the manifold/engine, or is that part just not installed yet?

They are far too roughly modelled to be any use.

That's just like, your opinion, man.

Hey that's me! Disclaimer: the meshes used for those are pretty poor (65M cells, no volumetric refinement). I just needed something eyecatching for now, so I went with images that don't make too many claims. Expect real results in ~6 weeks.

65M cells is more than what Toyota use for their Le Mans cars.
It might not be an optimized mesh, but it's definitely not poor.

ScrewCaptain27 is vastly wrong in saying that these models are useless.
Surely, the results won't be as accurate as the official ones, but the key flow structures of the car are evident already, which is orders of magnitude better than any speculation or educated guess usually seen on this forum.


(14M cells here. And Williams wasn't kind enough to provide internal aero, but that doesn't have such an impact for most uses)
