If you look at the area of the red smoke, it does not change very much between versions.

Perhaps reducing the vortex size is a goal in comparing shapes with this software?

Also, I wonder if the effect of turbulence on the vehicle aerodynamics diminishes with the distance of the turbulence behind the vehicle? In other words, turbulence close to the vehicle has a greater effect on the wind resistance measured for the vehicle?
