Lets talk air dam's.......

I have been read and doing some research on air flow. I have come up with two ideas how air dams work.
One thought is it forces air up into the radiator causing a positive force through the radiator.
Thought two is it causes a disturbance in air flow below the radiator make the air behind the radiator to produce a vacum effect pull air theough the radiator. What theory do you belive is correct....
