John, I don't know. I've found modeling, even fairly sophisticated modeling, to be more useful in determining amount of change we can achieve, but not accurate enough to give us accurate absolute measurements. This has been true for aero, tire testing and to a point, suspension geometry.

The plan is to build both the splitter and diffuser to the limits of the compromises we have to work with, and then balance it with the adjustment available in the wing.

FWIW, my education (years ago) was in hydrodynamics and aerodynamics. I studied to design racing sailboat hulls and sail shapes.
