Popis: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether small plates covering the roof and the hood of the DrivAer estate vehicle can be used as airbrakes and increase its drag as well as the downforce. The presented results were obtained with the use of the commercial computational fluid dynamics software ANSYS® Fluent. The main findings of the article are that the aerodynamic devices such as flaps covering surfaces of the vehicle can have a significant impact on drag increase and can be used not only to make the design of the car more striking but also beneficial when utilized as a part of an active aerodynamic setup.
