let's say you have a street legal racecar, flat front splitter with undertray going back to front tire stock undercarriage with crooked exhaust and couplings and then a badass rear difuser from the rear tire to the bumper. Let's keep this about "under the car" question. Vortex generators do some really neat things with the air including changing air direction, creating a small low pressure area and so on.
So, how could you make best use of vg's to maximize downforce without caring too much about drag?
Would you:
1. Put them at the end of the front tray to create a small low pressure area to help suck some air from the motor compartment and also help the air for the rear diffuser?
2. Put them at the leading edge of the front splitter To help the front splitter work better?
3. Put them at the leading edge of the rear diffuser to help the air stay attached?
4. Or even some in front and rear going in the same direction to help the vortex's grow bigger?
5. Don't add any?
Just throwing some things out to see if anybody has had experience with any of these options, this is truly just a fun question but if you think it may be beneficial to maximize downforce using them I may even try it out.
