The solution? Drive unconventionally fast No seriously though, diffusers that small probably don't affect something the size of a car. Looking at F1 cars, the diffusers in the back are significant in size relative to the car and have proven to be effective at reducing drag.(If anyone was wondering, I'm a mechanical engineer. I don't claim to know exactly what I'm talking about because I don't work around aerodynamics, but it was my favorite course in college and I remember some stuff from it lol) I'm not quite sure if it violates forum rules (I read them) so I apologize in advance, but car and driver has a great article about diffusers and aerodynamics under a car. The idea can be made to help understand air movement over a car. (again, sorry if this isn't allowed please don't ban me; just slap on the wrist?!) http://www.caranddriver.com/features...y-suck-feature Last edited by InnerDragon10; 04-11-2014 at 02:38 PM. |
