Jeff,
Welcome information, can you tell us what sort of
climb and cruise speeds we are looking at and what aircraft. Any other info is
welcome, like Delta T across the core etc.

FWIW,
I my radiator core is 5.5” thick x 5.5” high x 20” wide … it cools …

I like your
approach to the problem, I see nothing but positive outcomes in proving the
concept (one way or another). 3.5" is ( I believe) OK, the thick verses thin
debate is like comparing apples and oranges given the different applications
of cars and aircraft. I don't know what speed your looking at in cruise but
3.5" should be good for a higher cruise. I believe some have used 3" cores
successfully. However I'm no expert but I look forward to the
outcomes.
Mike,
The
graphic is not a true representation of the final design. It merely depicts
an unmodified P-51 scoop that has been rendered in CAD, scaled 61% and
rotated lightly in the clockwise direction.
My
actual radiator design has a frontal area of 203 sq in and a depth of 3.5
in.
As
stated earlier, the purpose of the post was to announce my willingness to
share a software program that I had developed and found
useful.
