I have a question over vortex generators. I understand that they have very specific uses, and come with their own drag penalties, but I was wondering if they can be used to reduce certain problem areas of auto aerodynamics.

Looking at their use in Aircraft, they are predominantly used to keep flow attached to a wing with a high angle of attack, to lower stall speed of the wing.

Would it not make sense to install them in front of the front wheel arch/well? By installing one or more VG on the front bumper/wing, would this smooth airflow around the front wheels?

I have no means of testing or simulating this.
