IN THEORY: BLOWN REAR WING (ACTIVE-DRD)
By Matthew Somerfield 17:13 9 comments
It's about that time when changes to the regulations cause us to have a good old look at what
might now be possible. The implementation of wastegate exhausts has got us all wondering
what advantage the teams can possibly glean. Unfortunately their positioning along the carscentreline rules out any edge of floor/diffuser blowing tomfoolery. However, how they're
used along the centreline could yield some interesting applications in any case
Before we get going, make sure you're sitting comfortably and have a drink as this is going to
be a long one. Let's start with a little history lesson....
Back in 2010 McLaren arrived to pre-season testing with what they code named the RW80,
but was latterly dubbed the F-Duct by the mainstream media.
McLaren's blown rear wing concept was known in-house as the RW80 but when the media noted the chassis duct
had the 'F' from Vodafone emblazoned on it, it became known as the F-Duct.
The system, whatever you choose to call it, had a scoop mounted on the upper surface of the
chassis, with ductwork passing through the monocoque to the rear of the car. Meanwhile the
air box was divided, with some pipe work responsible for the usual task of intake air and
cooling whilst the another made its way toward a junction. This junction split, with pipework
feeding both the rear wing and the outlet just above the beam wing. This was made possible
by the connecting engine cover and slots placed on the rear face of either the mainplane or
top flap (each team chose differently dependent on how they wanted to stall the rear wing).

The shark fin engine cover connected the pipework to the upper flap
The flaps were hollow, allowing the airflow ducted to them to pass air through slots on their rear face
The slots on the rear face of the wing were placed differently depending on how the team wanted the wing to 'stall'
Under normal conditions airflow passing through the airbox duct would pass down through
the engine cover outlet. In order that the wing 'stalled' / drag reduction took place the driver
would place his hand/knee (dependent on the car) over a hole in the cockpit, which in-turn
created a switching effect at the junction (fluidic switch) causing the airflow to pass down the
pipework to the rear wing through the slots on the rear wing, interrupting the normal flow
pattern and 'stalling' the wing.

Here's an overview of how the F-Duct system worked. When not in operation air flowed through the duct astride the
cockpit and into the cockpit via the aperture, the pipework at the junction was shaped that when inactive the airflow
from the airbox passes down through the neutral feed. When activated by the driver (places his hand/knee/leg over
the cockpit aperture) the airflow moves down toward the junction and the airflow switches, to supplying the rear
wing. NB Green denotes active airflow, whilst Yellow denotes no supply.
Outlawed by the FIA in 2011 owing to the danger of driver interaction it was replaced by
DRS (Drag Reduction System), which was initially, during qualifying, unlimited in its use,
whilst in race conditions it can only be used in 'activation' zones and only when a driver is 1
second behind the one he trails at the detection point. It's use has been somewhat diluted
since its introduction in my opinion, with the length of zones increased/decreased throughout
race weekends in the past in order to facilitate better racing. This often led to teams carrying
numerous flap sizes and having to test their vMax in order to decide which way to go forqualifying and the race. With the zones rigid in their length throughout race weekends it has
become somewhat of a formality that the chasing car will overtake and is now moreover a
tool to return the drivers to their status quo dependent on the tyre wear, rather than a tool to
create overtaking opportunities.
In 2012 Lotus looked into another option to reduce drag, which they simply dubbed the
'device', I decided to call it DRD (Drag Reduction Device) as the mainstream media (Sky and
the BBC) had begun confusing fans by calling it Double DRS (DDRS), an acronym already
in use with Mercedes employing a drag reducing device that used DRS to 'stall' the front
wing.
The Lotus drag reduction device seen implemented on the E20 here with flo-viz applied. You'll note the flow
separation in the centre of the wing caused by airflow being blown laterally out of the slots in the pylon
DRD was tested repeatedly by Lotus throughout 2012 and others joined them, with Mercedes,
Sauber and Red Bull all trialling their own versions (albeit I was never really convinced that
Red Bull were doing the same thing). However, it never really reached its potential and
featured in just one race, when Kimi Raikkonen gave it an outing at Silverstone. The
problem with DRD was it was passive, unlike the RW80/F duct it relied solely on air speed to
create the switch, which made it difficult to tune. The problem was speed, set the threshold
too low and it would create an imbalance during cornering, too high and its effect was
nullified by the additional weight and complexity of the components.
So, come on Matt, why are you dragging all this up again?..
Well, if we take a mixture of both the RW80 switchable concept and DRD blown pylon it is
entirely plausible the introduction of wastegate exhausts may have inadvertently reopened the
door to the blown wing. There are undoubtedly several ways in which this could work (trust
me I've drawn several), but I've chosen perhaps the easiest to explain in order that we get the
idea out on the table.
Firstly let's talk about the wastegates function, which is to relieve boost from the turbine
when it exceeds the requirement. F1 Powerunits have electronically controlled wastegates, of
which the ECU are in command of and can specify changes based on differing parameters.
Therefore it is entirely plausible that you could utilize a low speed wastegate and high speed
wastegate, with the low speed wastegate opened up until a given rpm. Furthermore, as the
Turbo is supplemented by the MGU-H whilst the wastegate is in operation you can still keep
the turbo in the optimum operational window.
Safe in the knowledge that you now have a method with which to switch airflow at a given
speed you can once again set about stalling the rear wing.

The base principle of the Lotus DRD is retained for my model, however, instead of requiring
a blockage of airflow in the main pipework to cause the switching effect the wastegate is used
to entrain the airflow into the lower outlet.
When drag reduction isn't required / inactive (ie the driver is cornering or braking the
wastegate is opened), the plume it generates from the tip entrains the airflow of the pipework
that surrounds it (see below) pulling the airflow through the sleeve. As speed builds and drag
reduction is required the wastegate is closed and as it is easier for the airflow to pass over the
lower, smaller diameter duct it passes up through the pylon to the underside of the rear wing
and ejected into the rear wings path, this creates seperation, reducing downforce and drag.
The wastegate pipe is shown in red, whilst the ducting sleeve shown in green is hollow, allowing airflow (blue) to be
pulled through the sleeve when the wastegate is in use. This image is only being used for illustrative purposes there
would clearly have to be some geometric shaping of the sleeve in order for it to fulfill its purpose.
Sounds like a slam dunk then, yea?
No, there are so many other factors involved in making this work. Firstly, the control of the
wastegate(s): Having two wastegate exhausts does make things easier as it means you can
isolate which one does low speed events (needed for this Active-DRD to work) whilst
another takes care of any high speed usage. As I've already mentioned the MGU-H can fulfill
some of the holes in terms of turbo management this creates, however, based on the way the
hybrid systems operate it is plausible that not all manufacturers would be able to do this
and/or it could have a performance effect on the powerunit, negating the aero gains.
Furthermore, there are other aero implications. With the loss of the beam wing for 2014 the
teams have been using the exhaust to energise the aerodynamic structures that surround it,
such as the diffuser and rear wing. Introducing two new energetic exhaust plumes into these
structures will need careful management, as they will change the point of seperation.
Throwing Active-DRD into the mix may further complicate matters but could also yield an
increase in downforce not only a drag reduction boost.
Trade-off
How can you get more downforce? Teams run the rear wing (and other components for that
matter) at an optimum level based upon how much downforce they can get before it
compromises them in terms of drag (efficiency). That's why if you take the two extremes of
Monaco (low speed street circuit) and compare it with Monza (essentially lots of straights
punctuated by chicanes) you'll see a huge disparity in the wing angle being run.
With that trade-off in mind you'll note that sometimes teams essentially have to give up
downforce based on the circuit and how others around them are performing. But, what if you
could have your cake and eat it? That's what happened in 2010 when the F-Duct was the
must have aero appendage. Teams had already designed their challengers around the double
decked diffusers that had caused a ruckus in 2009 and were in the throws of another war:

assemblies used during 2010 were positively barn doors in comparison to what the teams use
today.
Red Bull RB6 - You'll note how much wing angle is used here in comparison with the almost ironing board
configuration used by Red Bull in 2015 (above). The ability to 'stall' the rear wing after exiting the corner means you
get maximum downforce during cornering and a reduction in drag for an increased top speed when the DRD is
active.
Another spanner in the works for 2016...
Just to make things more interesting the rules pertaining to the mainplane and flap geometry
have also been amended in the latest draft of the regulations, making the use of a 'Spoon' rear
wing more achievable. For those unfamiliar with the 'Spoon' design it can achieve more
downforce from the central portion of the wing as it dips below the mainplanes intended
legality window, whilst the outer sections being shallower help to retain a smaller drag
footprint, meaning the car punches a different wake profile.
Sauber C32 in Australia 2013 with a 'Spoon' style rear wing
When the new regulations were introduced in 2014 they increased the previous Y75 zone to a
Y100, inline with the exhaust placement regulations. This allowed the winglets (Monkey
Seats) to be increased in size too, whilst some teams opted to run dual mounting pylons
100mm from the centre line too, with the Mercedes W05 probably being the prime example,
although Sauber have continued the trend this season.
What the regulations didn't do was adjust the centreline measurement for the mainplane and
top flap, even though it had been proposed, in order to mitigate some of the downforce that
had been lost. This changes in the new regulations though:
3.10.8 Any horizontal section between 600mm and 750mm above the reference plane,taken through bodywork located rearward of a point lying 50mm forward of the rear
wheel centre line and less than 100mm from the car centre line, may contain no more
than two closed symmetrical sections with a maximum total area of 5000mm2. The
thickness of each section may not exceed 25mm when measured perpendicular to the car
centre line.

Above is a graphical representation of just some of the options available to the teams past and
present.
1. Upper-left is a standard wing using the full height of the legality box, no centre support is
used and so additional bracing would be needed at the wings base and/or thicker endplates
which also carry the DRS hydraulics (Williams took this option in 2014.
2. Middle-Top is has the same legality box but uses a central pylon for stiffness and to carry
DRS hydraulics.
3. Upper-right has the maximum legality box but uses twin pylons set at the maximum Y100
(200mm).
4. Bottom-right is a 'Spoon' style rear wing with twin mounting pylons, the maximum height
is set at 150mm in the centre but arches to a smaller height at the tips.5. Middle-bottom exceeds the maximum 150mm in the centre Y100 section of the wing and
can have a range of flap sizes upto the maximum 150mm height at the tip.
6. Bottom-right shows the difference between the geometry that was available in green
(Y75) vs the geometry that will be available in 2016, marking in red (Y100)
Mercedes did use a 'Spoon' design for both Spa and Monza this year, although the Monza wing wasn't strictlyadhering to the 'Spoon' design as it stayed within the regular regulation box.
Why the hell are you bringing up 'Spoon' wings Matt? Well funny you should ask, the two
topics don't seem interlinked, however, they are. Sauber's last foray into the use of DRD was
in tandem with a 'Spoon' style wing as they looked to further improve both downforce and
drag reduction, mounting their stalling pylon under the mainplane.

....there are other considerations to make in terms of the pylon's design, which will also have
an effect on how the rear wing 'stalls' and recovers. Teams have, on the whole, moved
toward a swan neck design for their mounting pylons, meaning that the pylon is slightly
ahead of the rear wing structure, with the upper section arching over the top of the mainplane
to meet with the DRS actuator pod. This is because the pylon itself can cause a distrubance
to the airflow, causing seperation and reducing the wings ability to create downforce. Having
said that, Mercedes still lead the pack yet run with a pylon design that connects under the
mainplane, so, it can just come down to how you design the components to work with one
another.
Furthermore, in order to maximise the shape and design of the rear wing endplates teams
have been using the pylon(s) in order to house the hydraulic components required to operateDRS. This means that careful consideration would need to be taken in order that a
compromise is met.
Red Bull RB11 - DRS hydraulics are fed through the bodywork to the pylon, where they are fed through it to the
DRS actuator.
Whilst the pylon used on the E20 met with the underside of the mainplane, both Sauber and
Mercedes trialled designs that fell slightly short. Furthermore Mercedes trialled a design very
much in vein of the RB6 F-Duct we saw earlier from the Monza images where a duct sat
quite a bit below the mainplane.
Last but by no means least there is also the possibilty of using either a twin pylon
configuration which could stall a wider area of the wing or the mounting of another carefully
shaped winglet under the mainplane in the Y100 zone. The latter would need to be shaped in
order that it doesn't impinge on the actual performance of the rear wing but could also blow a
much wider area of the rear wing.
In Summary
So what I'm saying is there is no one-size fits all solution, as always if teams do pursue
Active-DRD they will all come up with different solutions. What I've given is a very basic
overview and so I'm not for a moment suggesting it's a silver bullet that everyone will have,
infact I'm not even saying anyone will have it. Moreover, I'm simply putting it out there as atheory, just as Craig did on Twitter last week..

Elaborating on a point half-made in that other thread: Activating the duct based on
speed is difficult and limited to speeds above the circuit's fastest corner. An alternative
aggressive strategy totally under driver control could be:
Set up gears 1 through 6 so that they can cover everything from 0 to 300km/h. Those
6 operate normally. Then set up 7th to operate between, say, 270 and 340km/h and
8th to operate between 200 and 270km/h (so shorter than 6th and 7th). Now make
7th and 8th gears that always open the second wastegate, which only opens in that
case.
Then the driver can activate his f-duct at will at any point above 200km/h (going
quickly from 5th to 8th if needed), while always having it on above 300km/h, which
should be faster than any real corner in the season. Lifting the throttle before braking
deactivates it to avoid performance losses in the initial phases of braking.
You have to stretch gears 1 through 6 (but not much more than Mercedes did in
2014), but it means using the duct for a much longer portion of the lap in almost any
circuit, plus a simpler activation mechanism, plus activation (mostly) only on demand.

Hi Hollus, thanks for stopping by and for posting a link to the
article on F1Technical.
Although I wouldn't rule out your implementation of gear
ratios it's in opposition of how I see Active-DRD working. I
don't want to open the wastegate at higher speeds to trigger
DRD instead I would open the wastegate at low speeds to
deactivate it.
DRD inactive (low speed): Airflow enters the airbox, the
wastegate is open so a plume pulls the air through the
exhaust sleeve
DRD active (above the highest corner exit speed): the
wastegate closes and the airbox airflow makes its way up the
pylon(s) and blows laterally across the wing, causing the stall.

Thanks, you aren't using the wastegate gases to 'stall' the aero
they are used at low speed to entrain the airflow through the
neutral feed. As speed builds the wastegate is closed and
airflow from the airbox is fed through the pylon(s) and is
ejected laterally into the rear wings airstream, causing
separation and a 'stall' just as the F Duct did.

If the wastegate can't be controlled independently it will be extremely hard to use
them to stall the rear wing. The moment you are about to brake at the end of the
straight, as you let of the throttle the wastegates will open....hence stall your rear
wing...during braking and cornering...bad idea. BUT, if you can control them
idependently (looking at the first image in this topic) lower pipe controlled normally as
of today with center pipe for exhaust from the turbine. Then you can use the top pipe
to activate the drag system. You can add a loop in the program that detects if being at
full throttle plus other inputs, therefore full acceleration during straight line. You can
also link it to the "push to pass" or "overtake" which opens all the power available
from MGU-K and MGU-H. In this scenario the turbine must be going at full speed and
the wastegate must be open to keep it from overspooling. So during this period you
have a constant gas flow through the top pipe that will stall the wing and help to pass.
Great history lesson Matt
Thanks!
20 October 2015 at 12:07Matthew Somerfield
Ah but I'm proposing the opposite, the wastegate is entrain in
flow through the lower neutral outlet at low speed. At high
speed the wastegate closes and the airflows makes its way up
the pylon(s) as this is an easier path for it to navigate, which in-
turn causes the 'stall'.

Ah DRD, an old friend with big ears has returned, stirring fond memories! This is a
great discussion piece and merits much discussion. One thing though, if you are using
the ECU to manage waste gate operation for Active DRD, does this not constitute a
preprogrammed moveable aerodynamic device?
Great piece as ever
20 October 2015 at 12:11Matthew Somerfield
Thanks David :) the wastegate is part of the powerunit
regulations thanks to the 2016 regs, creating a fluidic switch
system with no moveable parts that uses it can't be classed as
a moveable aerodynamic device, otherwise we'd be banning
exhausts too.. ;)
