Abstract: A system and method for reducing an amount of aerodynamic drag generated within a rear area of a vehicle includes positioning or manufacturing a plurality of devices in a selected pattern on at an exterior surface of the vehicle or a surface of an accessory attached to the vehicle, where each of the plurality of devices includes a flat surface and one or more non-flat surfaces, and the plurality of devices cause an airstream traveling along the side of the vehicle to curve behind the vehicle and provide a push in the forward direction.
Abstract: A method for reducing an amount of aerodynamic drag generated within a rear area of a vehicle may include attaching a plurality of devices to a surface of the vehicle, the plurality of devices being positioned such that at least two of the plurality of devices are parallel to each other, where each of the plurality of devices includes flat and tapered surface regions, the device is positioned in the rear area of the vehicle, and the at least two of the plurality of devices cause an air stream passing between the at least two of the plurality of devices to increase in speed before the air stream is turned inward to a vacuum formed behind the vehicle.
