aerodynamics, plural;
  1. The study of the properties of moving air, and esp. of the interaction between the air and solid bodies moving through it

  2. The properties of a solid object regarding the manner in which air flows around it

  3. These properties insofar as they result in maximum efficiency of motion


  1. aeromechanics: the branch of mechanics that deals with the motion of gases (especially air) and their effects on bodies in the flow
  2. (aerodynamic) of or relating to aerodynamics
  3. (aerodynamic) streamlined: designed or arranged to offer the least resistant to fluid flow; "a streamlined convertible"
  4. (Aerodynamic (song)) "Aerodynamic" is an instrumental track by Daft Punk featuring a prominent guitar solo. The track was released on March 28, 2001 as the second single from the Discovery album.
  5. The science of the dynamics of bodies moving relative to gases, especially the interaction of moving objects with the atmosphere
  6. (aerodynamic) Having a shape that that is not adversely affected by wind flowing past it.
  7. (aerodynamic) a design of cycling equipment or a riding position that reduces wind resistance; aero for short.
  8. (Aerodynamic) The efficient flow of air around an object.
  9. The study of the motion of gas on objects and the forces created.
  10. Hydrodynamics and aerodynamics are both branches of fluid dynamics, which is the study of fluids in motion. The fundamental laws governing the movements of gases, such as air, and liquids, such as water, are identical. Although many liquids are almost incompressible. ...
  11. The wind resistance of a vehicle's design elements. Aerodynamic vehicles claim to offer increased performance and reduced wind noise while moving. See Coefficient of Drag.
  12. A field of fluid dynamics that studies how gases, including air, flow and how forces act upon objects moving through air.
  13. WRC cars have spoilers, splitters and other shaped panels on the bodywork to direct cool air past the engine, gearbox and brakes and help keep the car firmly on the road at high speeds.
  14. In car and motorcycle context, good aerodynamics means that the vehicle is designed to have as little resistance from the air as possible. This is essential to archieve great speeds. The manufacturers often make use of wind tunnels during the development of a new car or motorcycle. ...
  15. The science of manipulating the flow of air over the car to produce downforce. Downforce is, logically, the force pressed upon the car from the air, resulting in the car being pushed onto the road. ...
  16. The physics of the movement of objects through air or gas
  17. The science of managing airflow plays a major role in racecar design and tuning because modern day open wheeled cars are highly sophisticated aerodynamic devices. ...
  18. A standard "aerodynamic package" of spoilers and wings, a front splitter/air dam and side skirts are supplied to the teams of each make. Testing is conducted so that in principle the two makes have similar aerodynamics. ...
  19. A section of physics dealing with fluids (both liquids and gases).
  20. Physics of air flow. Important for interpreting sedimentary environments and taphonomy.
  21. The science of understanding different forces acting on a moving element in gasses such as air. The application of this study to racing is credited with much of the sport's recent progress as teams learn more about drag, air turbulence, and down force.
  22. The branch of fluid mechanics dealing with air (gaseous) motion, and the reactions of a body moving within that air.
  23. The study of how air flows around the airplane.
  24. This crucial aspect of race car design and tuning defines how the car moves through the air and how areas of high and low pressure can be generated and manipulated to maximize down force while minimizing drag. ...
  25. In general, the aerodynamics of a car represent the outer shell's ability to move through the aid. Aerodynamics play a huge role in keeping your car on the ground, in conjunction with downforce.
