more aero...Trapped Vortex
Milliken discuss a trapped vortex in the aero chapter. I'm intrigued and have wondered about an application to a relative small hatchback design. Since the car in question produces modest power, 210bhp, I would prefer to concentrate on priciples that reduce drag rather than create downforce.
How sound is this principle in practice? I also imagine a rear diffuser might work in concert...the basic idea is to reduce the wind wake. |
