Morelli paper
This is a super interesting paper aerohead. Lots of good stuff...
*centrifugal fan rims! Well of course! Then pumping the air into the wheel wake to fill in the ring. Genius.
*the shape of the vehicle shocked me a bit, but it is designed with neutralising cross winds in mind among other factors.
*underbody flow is also key to completing the ring vortex
*3 pairs of voticies coming off each wheel, wow! Go wheel skirts!
so if you did use these fan wheels on the front, where close by would you pump the flow? Behind front wheels?
I think this ends the debate of air dam vs smooth underbody.
