[QUOTE="dimples, post: 43181, member: 112"] okay ... not knowing much about cars and a very vague memory of physics in uni ... I'm guessing that they are calling it a splitter because it 'splits' the airflow in order to create the pressure difference. In actuality if you draw it out .. it does kinda look like a backside because there is the flow that goes over the splitter and the flow that goes under the splitter and the one streamline that divides the flow in half where the flow meets the splitter. Since the flow cannot pass through the splitter, it 'stagnates' hence "stagnation point". That would be the g-string lor ... I am going to stop now before someone calls me a geek ... hehehe ...
