Zoran Popović and colleagues at the University of Washington have come up with techniques that allow the modelling of the most likely shape of air flow patterns in real-time, for vehicles and other objects moving outside of laboratory environments.

The technology is presently being employed in car racing, to overlay the most likely form of air flow, when several cars are clustered together, on top of video footage.

The tricky part is calculating air flows so quickly. To do this, they use Navier-Stokes equations, which describe the motions of fluids.
