Okay, but I wasn't thinking about a rough underbody. Assume the underbody is as rough as the pavement.

There will be a gradient away from the underbody and the road, with some amount of turbulent mixing at the center. IIRC test show an optimal ride height [for a given design]. Normally assumed to be exposure of the tire faces?

I'm working on that graphic demo. Something presentable seems achievable, else it's not the good idea I'd thought.

Ablative extensions to the pitot tube?
