Localized aerodynamic flow checking
Has anyone thought of a way to see how much better a specific area on a vehicle flows air at home? My first thought goes to string, tape and a huge shop fan. This way you could be out of your car and see how the air is flowing.
This thought came to me as I was thinking of air flow over my windshield wipers, side mirrors, front tires and my recessed fog lights. I want to make low profile Lexan covers to blend with the bumper to smooth over the pocket caused by my sunk in fog lights. And Id like to see the characteristics of air flow over specific areas.
Anyone done this kind of testing?
