Automotive aerodynamics is the study of the aerodynamics of road vehicles. Its main goals are reducing drag and wind noise, minimizing noise emission, and preventing undesired lift forces and other causes of aerodynamic instability at high speeds. Air is also considered a fluid in this case.

Why are aerodynamics useful?

The main concerns of automotive aerodynamics are reducing drag, reducing wind noise, and preventing undesired lift forces at high speeds. For some classes of racing vehicles, it may also be important to produce desirable downwards aerodynamic forces to improve traction and thus cornering abilities.

How is aerodynamics used in real life?

The study of movement of matter in relation with air or gases is called aerodynamics. ... Aeroplanes live in the air for long period of time and move across it in speed using the concept of aerodynamics. Golf balls, racing cars, turbines, rocket pumps, dispersal of seeds etc. are some other real life examples.
