I sincerely doubt real air moves as cooperatively and as idealistically as the computer model illustrates. However I commend the presentation of design intent and design process with unspoken word in the animation.

This known phenomenon is backed up by the CFD results on this simulated Formula One Rear Wing shown above. - See more at: CFD - Why F1 Teams Change Wings For Monza - Angle of Attack
