Anyone have access to SAE publications?, underbody diffuser design papers Options

[TonyAKAVW]

I found an interesting literature review concerning underbody diffusers and there is a list of references, some of which are through the SAE.

Here's the article, and if anyone can get me electronic copies of the articles or knows of a way, I'd appreciate it.

well... yes and no. Bernoulli's says that airspeed increases/ decreases with the size of the container. But a diffuser isn't necessarily about changing airspeed. It's more about controlling direction of air to minimize turbulence. At least this is my understanding.

But with the example that tony mentioned, there is airflow through the CF channels in the rear, fast airflow and directional. Fast air tends to create a low pressure near it and draw more air to it. Perphaps air from the engine bay, through holes in the CF, as long as those holes don't interfere with the airflow through the channels.

Sorry if I jacked this thread. I can start a new one if anyone wants.
