scale if you zoom in and the velocity applied is 51m/s or 100kt; low velocity
is not necessarily a bad thing however its an indication of turbulence induced
drag around exit vent openings and rearward of aft surfaces as slower and faster
moving air rejoin, getting these two velocity streams to combine back together
more smoothly is a desirable outcome... one of my test pilots has just suggested
trying vortex generators; will be interesting to see if that has any
desirable affect... will be interesting to see just how much total drag can be
reduced and how that might be achieved!!
