Any nerds want tk[*] break down the air flow at the rear?
It's like reading tea leaves.

I'd speculate that there is a separation bubble at 10 o'clock (relative to axle center). It's smaller down toward 8 o'clock.

The longitudinal flow across the top generates a vortex that is drawn downward at two o'clock.

The road spray angles upward because water has more momentum than air.
