ABSTRACT
VORTEX GENERATORS
This topic provides basic working principle of a vortex generator suitable for automobiles. Vortex generator has a vital role in increasing the fuel economy and aerodynamic stability. This enables them reduce the drag force acting on it.
There are several methods for positioning the vortex generators over the vehicles. The key results of a simple experiment conducted on Toyota prius exemplifying the advantages of vortex generators discussed here.
1. INTRODUCTION
This topic provides basic working principle of a vortex generator suitable for automobiles. Vortex generator has a vital role in increasing the fuel economy and aerodynamic stability. This enables them reduce the drag force acting on it.
There are several methods for positioning the vortex generators over the vehicles. The key results of a simple experiment conducted on Toyota prius exemplifying the advantages of vortex generators discussed here.
Over the first three parts of this seminar we will see how vortex generators work, looked in detail at their use on the Mitsubishi Evo Lancer, and found where they can be bought for aftermarket use. And now’s the time to put them to the test – to see if they can be used to improve fuel economy by reducing drag, or used to make a car more aerodynamically stable.
