15 kwi 2015 · Let’s start with the primary function and operation of a diffuser; ‘The key role of the diffuser on a modern racecar is to accelerate the flow of air under the car, creating an area of low pressure, thus increasing downforce.’
8 sie 2017 · Willem Toet, former Head of Aerodynamics at Ferrari F1, explains the fundamental principles behind motorsport diffusers. “Motorsport diffusers do not work in the same way as a wing in free stream, nor like a diffuser in a closed duct. Flow almost “HAS” to be 3-dimensional for them to work as we motorsport engineers make them work.
18 kwi 2018 · Learn how diffusers enhance your vehicle's performance. Discover the science behind diffuser design and its impact on aerodynamics in our detailed blog post.
9 lip 2018 · A guide to improving your car’s downforce and aerodynamic performance efficiently, without wind tunnel testing or CFD analysis. Improving downforce can seem like a big challenge when you don’t have the tools to measure increases in performance.
1 paź 2023 · A diffuser uses the low pressure that naturally occurs behind a car to draw out air from beneath it. The result: downforce that hugs the tires to the track. The walls of the diffuser contain the suction and increase the airflow through the unit’s entrance, or throat—normally its forward-most and lowest point.
12 lis 2013 · Diffusers are to downforce what cones are to ice cream. Find out how they work at Car and Driver.
15 mar 2021 · It may be right at the back of the car but McLaren’s diffuser has been at the forefront of technical intrigue at pre-season testing – so what makes it so unique? McLaren’s executive director, technical, James Key explained that and how the “straightforward” design was conceived.
