Both runways on this carrier have 1/4-round, leading-edge fairings, as you'd see on the bottom of an open-test-section wind tunnel nozzle at the test-section's entrance, which prevents vena-contracta entry loss formation and the attendant turbulence formation.
There's the answer to OP's question.

Your diverters and air dams on cars must use vena contracta to limit the air going into the underbody.
