Venturi Diffuser: Ground Effect Aerodynamics

This fractal visualization represents the Venturi effect in Formula 1 car diffusers. As air accelerates through the narrowing tunnels under the car, it creates low pressure zones that literally suck the car to the ground - generating massive downforce without the drag penalty of wings.

The fractal patterns show how airflow accelerates (blue = high speed/low pressure) through constricted channels, then expands in the diffuser section. Each tunnel creates recursive vortex structures that interact and interfere, creating the complex pressure patterns that define modern F1 ground effect aerodynamics.

Adjust the car speed to see how flow velocity affects pressure distribution. Higher speeds create more intense low-pressure zones (deeper blue), generating greater downforce. The fractal depth represents the turbulent cascade from large-scale flow structures down to microscopic eddies.
