Title:
VEHICULAR AERODYNAMIC STRUCTURE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2016185788
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicular aerodynamic structure which reduces air resistance and the like by accelerating an air flow under a floor in the inner side part of a tire.SOLUTION: In a vehicular aerodynamic structure, a vortex generator 28 influencing on a flow of air circulating in a vehicle underfloor part 24 is disposed in a lower part than the vehicle underfloor part 24 of a vehicle, on an inner side part than an inner side surface of a tire 12, and at a front end of the tire 12 or behind a flap 18. Therefore, an air flow in an area 16 on the inner side part of the tire 12 is accelerated to reduce air resistance, thereby showing an effect such as improvement in fuel consumption.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
