How to Reduce Car Drag?
1 Answers
Methods to reduce car drag include: 1. Flat underbody: This can minimize the lift generated by turbulent flow; 2. Utilizing ground effect: By using side skirts to divert the airflow that would normally pass under the car to the sides, while reducing the amount of air entering the underside, a low-pressure area is created between the car and the ground; 3. Airflow guiding devices: Employing aerodynamic aids like spoilers and diffusers to enhance the vehicle's aerodynamic performance. Car drag refers to the component of the air resistance acting on a car moving in a straight line, which is proportional to the square of the speed. If the speed doubles, the drag increases by three times.
