CFD: Air Flow Convection Heat Transfer
Air flow and convection heat transfer analysis to reduce the v-twin motor temperature. The
high fender blocks air flow to the front cylinder. Adding slots in the fender to allow air flow thru
significantly reduces the cylinder’s temperature. Jun Ortega, Autodesk
