The guys from AutoSpeed have done a few experiments with airflow, their articles tend to be light on theory and to get on with some actual real life testing which might be a bit low brow for you uni boys but suits me just fine.
Try the Modifying Under-Car Airflow and Undertrays, Spoilers & Bonnet Vents articles for starters but they have done a lot more.
