Assessment of conventional and air-jet wheel deflectors for drag reduction of the DrivAer model
Abstract Aerodynamic drag is a large resistance force to vehicle motion, particularly at highway speeds. Conventional wheel deflectors were designed to reduce the wheel drag and, consequently, the overall vehicle drag; however, they may actually be detrimental to vehicle aerodynamics in modern desig...
