Underbody Channel Vortex Generators

A vehicle comprising:

• a vehicle body having a first end and an opposing second end, wherein the first end is configured to face oncoming airflow when the vehicle is in motion relative to a road surface;
• an underbody extending between the first and second ends of the vehicle body and defining a space between the vehicle body and the road surface, the underbody including a first lateral edge, an opposing second lateral edge and a central region defined therebetween;
• and
• at least one aerodynamic surface disposed on the underbody, the at least one aerodynamic surface comprising at least one curved triangular channel having an apex, the at least one curved triangular channel configured to cause airflow to separate over a trip edge of the at least one curved triangular channel to create a low pressure vortex region within the curved triangular channel, wherein the at least one aerodynamic surface comprises a first curved triangular channel wherein the first curved triangular channel is directed toward a first lateral edge of the vehicle body;
• and
• at least a second curved triangular channel wherein the at least second curved triangular channel is directed toward the first lateral edge of the underbody
• wherein the apex of the at least one curved triangular channel extends toward the underbody and the trip edge extends away from the underbody.
