Micro turbulence generator system to reduce flow losses for motor vehicles consists of grained parts imprinted on self-adhesive foil for e.g. Formula 1 racing cars

摘要

The surface of the motor vehicle has grained parts to generate micro turbulence. The grain is adapted to localized flow conditions. With mainly laminar local flow conditions, number and depth of the grained parts is low, while with mainly turbulent local conditions, number and depth are higher. The grained parts are imprinted in self-adhesive foil, with graining dependent upon place of application. The foil is for high-speed vehicles, e.g. for motor car racing.
