Jeep Hood - airflow via snow clearing
|
The
jeep sat outside while two soft snowfalls fell the past couple days. It
was fully covered before these picures were taken. Airflow at the hood
surface does not flow front to back but rather forward. Snow started to
clear near the windshield first and then farther forward as speeds
increased. The following photos were taken within 30 minutes of each other - after each faster section of road. |
| In this first picture, max speed was 45mph |
| Now with a 55mph stretch of road |
| After a bit of 65MPH roadway I find it curious that the snow pushed forward that close to the front lip of the hood |
| The jeep sat, running, in a parking lot for ten minutes - some melt happened. Curious that the front lip of snow hangs on. |
