Opis

The book includes an experimental investigation for aerodynamic drag reduction over a car by flow control using vortex generator and spoiler. In general, the rear part of the car contributes 80 % of the total aerodynamic drag. Rear spoilers and vortex generator delay the flow separation for decreasing drag. This book provides a basic understanding of the experimental methods used traditionally for the drag reduction study. The book cover passive ways used for the drag reduction in an automobile.
