Before continuing (or even after) it may be beneficial to read some of the previous articles in this series on aerodynamics applied to F1: Formula 1 Aerodynamics – Basics of Aerodynamics and Fluid Mechanics, part I >Formula 1 Aerodynamics – Basics of Aerodynamics and Fluid Mechanics, part II The Ground Effect What is a vortex? Very simply, a vortex is defined as a region of fluid which is rotating around a core of low pressure. Vortices are a side effect of producing aerodynamic lift (or downforce) with wings, starting from the circulation of the bound vortex , where the circulation is proportional to the lifting force:
