It's me or there is 4 tunnels, not 2. 2 on each side of the sidpods ?
It's me or the larger tunnel entries (the newly rounded ones) are not connected to the silver channels - (they are maybe feeding the new big outlets that look like DD) the silver channels being fed via the smaller rectangular tunnel entries - ?
Where are the silver channels blowing ?
How is the starter hole blown ?

Edit I think now I see how is the rectanglar starter hole is blown. The silver channels are doing this...
Yeah, the small hole goes into the silver ducts and blows the starter motor hole and the large one directs air either side of the gearbox and out the lower hot air exit ontop of the diffuser. Check back a couple of pages for more explanation.Blackout wrote:I don't understand... Can someone answer these questions ?

nope, it was described on the flying lap by scarbsmarcush. wrote:blowing the starter motor hole?
isn´t it the other way round and the air is drawn through that ducting enhancing the flow around the sidepods?

as an idealisation I think of a tube going through a free stream of air .as the speed rises sure you got some boundary layer effects ...will this accelerate or make the air stream lesser inside the tube ? My feeling is at some point you will starve off any meaningful flow with increasing speed and as soon as you introduce some yaw thats even worsening the flow through the duct.So what does make the flow enter the duct in the first place ? lets assume the tube is a funnel and you move it small entry first through the air.damn sure with rising speed you will attract ever more air into the funnel the air trying to fill in the void you are cutting into the free air stream ...right?

I do not understand how larger tunnel air goes to radiator exit as i do not see any duct for it unlike smaller tunnel that have a duct (silver duct).
Is it goes to radiator duct?
What is difference between V3.0 smaller tunnel and V2.0 tunnel?
What is main advantage of this exhaust/tunnel design?
Is it more efficient or it have some special thing?
Does Red Bull tunnel accelerate (suck) air as it seems tunnel outlet is much bigger than tunnel inlet (act like diffuser)?
Sorry, can someone explain this?Because the double-floor inlet on the RB8 is fed by the flow along the flanks of the sidepods, and because that flow is fed by the front-wing wake, it should be sucking the air faster over the front-wing.
As i know air over front wing goes upward so tunnels can not suck them.Crucial_Xtreme wrote:

The double-floor duct will also presumably increase the flow-rate over the top of the diffuser, and in particular, the flow-rate over the diffuser's gurney-flap, both of which will have the effect of increasing the mass-flow capacity of the diffuser and underbody. Moreover, the stronger the suction through this upper-floor duct, the smaller the quantity of air which gets sucked under the floor just in front of the rear-wheels, a detrimental effect which can increase the turbulence in the outer channels of the diffuser.
So the double-floor should increase both front-wing downforce and underbody downforce. Very neat."

Surely you don't think all the air that goes over the FW goes only upwards? Different parts of the FW direct air to different places on the car, set up/create vortices to go towards certain parts and work with low pressure areas, etc. It doesn't all go up in the air over the car.heho07 wrote:Thanks Crucial_Xtreme.

If they can do it then it should decrease front wing downforce because they accelerate air over FW instead of air under FW.
Meanwhile all teams direct underneath sidepod air toward coke bottle and above diffuser to increase the flow-rate over the top of the diffuser.
