Fantastic view of the tunnels. Xavier is a menace

Where the tunnels start near the chassis, reminds me of how wings connect to fuselages of planes. Quite rounded and bulky but getting thinner as they move along the chord of the wing.

In comparison McLaren's diffuser:

I am guessing these are not shots of the rumoured RB20 floor they have brought to test out.

Look inside the exhaust pipe

You think they are generating a vortex?

Seems to have a clear twist there doesn't it. I've noted before about (I know there's very defined rules on this exit) that it appears very tight and without any "flare" at all right at the edge rim periphery.

Thought before that it may focus on further projection of exhaust energy (along the lines of a jet thrust aperture modulation for full takeoff thrust) to "pull" the rear wing departing flow more effectively into detachment.

Good spot on the exhaust.
They are flow straighteners or twisters.

The diffuser is extremely detailed on the corners and in general.
These guys are designing guided by some manner of isosurface it seems. As to what kind of isosurface they are focusing on who knows?

That is from the Japan floor update isn't it?

Ahh yes. My bad. Apologies.

This is the floor experiments right?

Don't think so. The same features can be seen on other shots of the diffuser run since Barcelona. For instance the flow visualization pictures of Suzuka show the same creases and details exist. They're just not visible in most photos of this area
