AN APPARATUS FOR REDUCING WAKE REGION OF WHEEL AND TO IMPROVE AERODYNAMICS OF VEHICLE

摘要

The subject matter disclosed herein relates to an apparatus for improving aerodynamic drag to improve fuel consumption in vehicle (201). The apparatus comprises a fluid duct (204) to directionalize flow of exterior air towards rear (209) of front wheel (208) to reduce wake area. The fluid duct (204) has a fluid inlet (205) at front end of the fluid duct (204) for receiving the exterior air and a fluid outlet (206) at rear end of the fluid duct (204) to exhaust the directionalized exterior air with high pressure towards the rear (209) of the front wheel (208) to reduce wake area for improving the aerodynamic drag. The fluid inlet (205) is provided on front end of the vehicle and the fluid outlet opened just above the rear of the front wheel in the front wheel well. To be published with Fig. 3
