Factors affecting car aerodynamics
By aerodynamics, we mean the science of how air interacts with objects. As a result of the interaction of air with solid objects, airplanes, cars, buildings and other objects, both the flow of air and the movement of that object change.
Drag coefficient: This is a numerical value that shows how effectively the shape of the car cuts through the air. The smaller this value is, the less the object is pushed by the air and means better fuel economy. rounded edges and a relatively large slope of the front lip help to make this coefficient lower.
Frontal surface: The smaller the front of the car, the less the impact of air on this surface.
The bottom design of the body: the flatter the underbody of the car, the less turbulence there is, and therefore, it presses the car with a force directed downwards, that is, to the ground.
Tires: Wide tire sizes and tires manufactured according to aerodynamic requirements do not lose this rotational energy when turning and have a positive effect on engine traction.
spoilers, wings, diffusers. All these elements press the car to the ground during high-speed turns and maneuvers.
P.S. The cited reasons were some factors affecting the dynamics. There are many unspecified factors.
