Abstract

A vehicle boundary layer air flow control structure is provided with a vehicle body and a side view mirror (9). The vehicle body includes an exterior contoured surface with an air flow deflector (11). The side view mirror (9) is attached to the vehicle body to provide a diagonally rearward direction to be viewed from a driver's seat. The air flow deflector (11) has a downward air flow guiding surface (11c) provided in a vehicle body region of the exterior contoured surface of the vehicle body along which an air flow heading toward the side view mirror (9) passes. The downward air flow guiding surface extends in an air flow direction of the air flow with respect to the side view mirror (9) to divert the air flow underneath the side view mirror (9).

Description

[0001] Cross application of related applications [0002] This application claims priority to Japanese Patent Application No. 2009-172328 filed on July 23, 2009 and Japanese Patent Application No. 2010-088844 filed on April 7, 2010. The entire disclosures of Japanese Patent Applications No. 2009-172328 and No. 2010-088844 are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention generally relates to vehicle boundary layer airflow control structures. More particularly, the present invention relates to vehicle boundary layer airflow control structures that advantageously control airflow to body mounted exterior mirrors or other side view mirrors. Background technique [0004] An exterior rear view mirror or other side view mirror is installed on the body of the vehicle so that the driver of the vehicle can see obliquely behind the driver's seat. However, in view of this use, the side mirror inevitably protrudes laterally from the vehicle body. Thu...
