What are the factors that affect a car's aerodynamic drag?
1 Answers
Factors that affect a car's aerodynamic drag mainly include the following: 1. The biggest factor affecting a car's drag coefficient is its exterior design: smooth, streamlined shapes and minimizing external attachments (such as side mirrors) can effectively reduce the drag coefficient. 2. The design of the underbody affects the drag coefficient: proper layout of components like exhaust pipes and a flat underbody can effectively reduce the drag coefficient. 3. The design of the front grille also influences the drag coefficient: a well-designed grille can reduce drag while maintaining sufficient airflow, ensuring proper cooling for the engine and brake discs.
