they forgot to model the aeromethane-spike from the cow fart.
I mean it definitely reduces over all drag.

If we install a nozzle with a check valve leaving the methane out but no flames in, we could build pulse jet driven bionic cows.
This wouldn’t change the aerodynamics at all but definitely increase the cows speed and reduce the global warming effect a bit

Not sure if this is !spaceflightmemes@sh.itjust.works or !noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works. Maybe a bit of both.

Calculations are simpler if ……… you assume a spherical cow!
supercriticalcheese@lemmy.world 4 months ago
That is an assumption that a physicist would do.

Cows can only be assumed to be spherical for thermodynamic purposes.

Thanks. If anyone in the future asks my opinion regarding breast size, I can safely say that a preliminary study has shown that, aerodynamically speaking, it is better to have large breasts.

Only if you’re facing the wind directly. In other orientations it may not be ideal. The analysis appears incomplete.

Is its drag coefficient better than a modern day SUV’s?

Everything is better than modern day SUVs

It’s fuel efficiency sure is.

Definitely better than a Jeep Wrangler.

This is why my plan to put wings and a rocket on a cow actually made sense!
Take that, you luddite aspca goons! That cow would have revolutionized human travel!

Will this increase the quality of our weather and climate models?
JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Is this is what happens when you don’t assume a spherical cow?
RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 months ago
I thought you’re supposed to assume a vacuum.
mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 months ago
Assume both otherwise we have to face cebter of gravity issues.
Maybe let the cow be a point mass?
LynneOfFlowers@midwest.social 4 months ago
That does tend to simplify the aerodynamics modeling
