Mar 16, 2012 . Learn about the aerodynamic effects of a front air dam, how and air dam differs from a splitter, and the basics of aerodynamic tuning. A vehicle's front air dam should not be mistaken for a splitter. While both are crucial aerodynamic components of a car, they differ greatly in shape and overall function. Most cars are stock equipped with a basic front air dam and are …

Jul 09, 2018 . The air dam is the vertical part of your splitter that attaches perpendicularly to your main splitter plane and parallel to your bumper. We see many splitters that do not feature this part. If you’re one of the offending people, you’re really hurting your performance. The air dam’s primary goal is to efficiently create a high-pressure zone on the area of your splitter that’s …

Detailed design patterns for making the valance guide and horn hole extender/hole air blockers are provided. This article contains other approaches you may find helpful. Objective I looked at the Air Dam to do five things. 1. Stop the recirculation of air coming back through the radiator, when at idle or very slow speeds. 2.

Air shrouds and dams create a low pressure behind the radiator and high pressure in front, drawing cool air through the condenser and radiator fins. A missing fan shroud could reduce cooling by a massive 50%. This part directs airflow but also protects the fan and the technician working near it. The fan shroud improves airflow at low speeds and idle.

These aerodynamic aids produce downforce by creating a “dam” at the rear lip of the trunk, raising the air pressure over the trunk. Where a notch left by the rear window exists a spoiler can help restore pressure to the void behind the window. Use Wings Wings are the inverted version of what you find on aircraft.

Feb 05, 2016 . This design allowed the air dam to fit to the bottom of the radiator support. It is connected to this frame by two small bolts through new holes drilled in the radiator frame support. The third support of the air dam, is where the metal portion of the air dam rests on the cross member. It is snug and does not rattle.

An Air-Dam helps reduce airflow from entering under the front of the car. When used in combination airflow is brought to stagnation above the front splitter by causing an area of high pressure. Airflow under the front splitter, redirects away from this stagnation point and accelerates air under the front of the car, which in turn causes a low pressure zone.

Sep 26, 2017 . You need to create a tracing device in the shape of an “L”. You will need to figure out how far you want the splitter to stick out, that will be the shorter length of the “L”. The longer length from will be from the bash bar to the splitter. You will use this section of the bumper to create your design:

Your air dam should seal tightly to your splitter and bumper to control the air as much as possible. Splitter extension, forward of the front bumper, is another important aspect you should take into consideration. The rule here is, the longer the better… as long as you aren’t smashing it into the ground under braking and cornering.
The air dam’s primary goal is to efficiently create a high-pressure zone on the area of your splitter that’s exposed in front of your bumper. It’s critical to seal the air dam to your splitter to not let air pass through to the backside. What we see are gaps left in this area, allowing air to bleed above the splitter and below the bumper.

Front Air Dam Effects. A well-designed front air dam will keep the nose steady and pointed at the ground in high speed driving. This would give the driver more confidence to control the vehicle in sustained high speed driving environments.
Guidelines that provide the basic framework for the earthquake design and evaluation of dams (2005). These guidelines encourage strict safety standards in the practices and procedures employed by federal agencies or required of dam owners regulated by the federal agencies (2004).
Application of the "Small Dam Design and Construction Manual" requires that: : the maximum height and the reservoir storage at the top of dam elevation is equal to or less than 8 m and 400 dam3, respectively : the project hazard potential is low : the foundation and borrow materials are good or fair; and
