In the drag crisis the aerodynamic drag of a round shape drops dramatically
This offers the opportunity to match the critical velocity of a shape with its operating speed range
Use the golf ball effect to reduce drag

▪ Good observed agreement between CFD, ProCap and force measurements
▪ Fast, efficient simulation and measurement runs (minutes)
▪ To work within the same post-processing environment and with identical geometry (shape and relative positioning) is crucial
▪ The drag crisis is highly dependent on velocity. The full potential is availably only through a track simulation using the measured or calculated drag values!
▪ Without combining different numerical and experimental tools the task can not be solved
Let’s go treasure hunting!
