In a vehicle (10) to which a wheelhouse rear structure (S1) is applied, a curved part (44) of a top wall (40) of a guide part (30) bulges at a forward incline to the bottom side of the vehicle and connects with a discharge part (34) in side view. An air flow (F1) flowing through a flow channel (36) flows along the top wall (40) due to the Coand effect, and the air flow (F1) flowing along the curved part (44) therefore has a large flow component moving rearward in the vehicle. Therefore, the direction of the air flow (F1) discharged from the discharge part (34) substantially coincides with the direction of an air flow (F2) flowing underneath the floor of the vehicle (10). The air flow (F1) and the air flow (F2) can thereby be smoothly merged in a state in which the decrease in the speed of the air flow (F1) discharged from the discharge part (34) has been suppressed.
