[AMPS] Thar she blows

[Barry Kirkwood]

Good point, Steve.
Classical texts on aerodynamics show pictures of flow around cylinders, but
I have never seen a picture of airflow around a pair of cylinders broadside.
It would be the same condition as a cross-frame twin cylinder air cooled
motorcycle which are considered OK from a cooling point of view.
I believe there are computer programmes that model fluid flow, but this area
is beyod me.
Does anybody out there know more?
