Default RE: Fun with Flat Foam

Hey,
We don't have a wind tunnel, but Auburn University does. They helped us do some testing on the GeoBat model.

They also have a water tunnel. The model is built with tiny tubes in it where they inject dye and it gives almost a better effect than a wind tunnel. (These are the guys who also tested a flat plate)

Here is a Discovery channel segment on it. As well as a few pics
