- Title
Aerodynamic effectiveness of the flow of exhaust gases in a generic formula one car configuration.

Parra, F. L.; Kontis, K.
- Abstract
The article investigates the effects of the flow of exhaust gases purposely located on the rear wing element of a generic Formula One car body. With regards to rear wing interference, it was observed that the extra flow coming from the exhaust enhances the aerodynamic lift of the aerofoil element. It was implied that increasing the down force of a Formula One car without increasing the drag is possible.
