Abstract:
A high density heat exchanging system for a vehicle comprising:an aerodynamic force-generating member mounted to the vehicle, said aerodynamic force-generating member having a high pressure surface and a low pressure surface, and a leading edge and a trailing edge, said leading edge and said trailing edge defining a length therebetween. wherein said force-generating member is capable of generating an intended aerodynamic force on the vehicle; anda porous device, said porous device disposed intermediate said length of said aerodynamic force-generating member, said porous device having an inlet arranged and configured to receive fluid flow, and said porous device having an outlet arranged and configured to expel fluid flow;wherein said aerodynamic force-generating member and said porous device are arranged such that a fluid flow passes through said aerodynamic force-generating member from said high pressure surface of said aerodynamic force-generating member to said low pressure surface of said aerodynamic force-generating member through said porous device.
