Vehicle component comprising a flow guiding element

A vehicle component for a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle for high-speed traffic, comprising:

• a surface which, during operation, is exposed to a relative wind-induced air flow having a local main flow direction, wherein
• said surface has a flow separation edge at which said air flow separates from said surface, and
• at least one perturbing element located in the region of said flow separation edge is provided, which is formed in order to introduce a perturbation into said air flow,
• wherein
• said perturbing element has at least one guide face protruding into said air flow, wherein
• said guide face being formed, and inclined by an inclination angle with respect to said local main flow direction, in such a way that a velocity component, which is oriented transversely with respect to said local main flow direction and which induces local turbulence in a shear layer of said air flow separating from said surface downstream of said perturbing element at said flow separation edge, is imposed to said part of said air flow striking said guide face.
