I'm guessing you mean turbulent eddies (which form in a fluid) rather than eddy currents (which form inside metals subjected to changing magnetic fields).

In any case, it's impossible to stop eddy currents from forming. Any car, even if it's as slippery as a LMP1 prototype, will generate lots of turbulent eddies. The question is, how bad will the drag coefficient be.

And that's a question you won't be able to answer with simulations unless you have a few tens to hundreds of millions of CPU-hours lying around.

Ah yes, sorry. You're right. I'm so used to thinking about computers that I flummoxed the two.

Did you mean confused, not flummoxed?

Does it matter, pedant?

It's called style.

Did you mean turbulent eddies, rather than eddy currents?

This is interesting - all I see is angles - where is it curved?

It seems a lot less curved than any other angular car I've seen, say an early Lotus Esprit.

Literally the only curve I see on it is on the fascia.
