Theoretical expressions for the aerodynamic drag due to the internal cooling flow in road vehicles are examined. The advantages of a ducted system and the sizing and location of inlet and outlet apertures are discussed. Experimental tests to evaluate theoretical relationships in model scale are described, and practical conclusions concerning drag minimization are drawn.
