Unlike aircraft designers, automobile engineers have no large reservoir of fundamental aerodynamic knowledge comparable to that available from NACA/NASA research and other laboratories. The bulk of automobile aerodynamics refers to specific and proprietary configurations as opposed to basic and generalized information. Furthermore, since the typical automobile is a bluff body operating close to a boundary, the ground, its flow is characterized by separation, reattachment, vortex, shear and wake structures. Thus aircraft aerodynamic data is of relatively little use to the automotive designer. This paper outlines a long-term fundamental aerodynamic research program for automobiles with primary emphasis on drag reduction. (Stoehr)
