  Aerodynamic Analysis of Formula 1 Race Car: A Case Study

  By Prashant Sudhiranjan Rade

  Abstract: If you look at all the factors in Formula 1 that can be influenced with engineering, more than 70 percent is aerodynamics. Computational Fluid Dynamics plays an increasing role in the design process for the automotive industry, in particular for the prediction of aerodynamic characteristics. This Study is concerned with simulation of aerodynamic flow around the front part of a formula 1 racing car. The numerical simulation includes geometrical modelling, …

  Applications of CFD in Car Design

  By Prashant Sudhiranjan Rade

  Abstract: Development of computational fluid dynamics has now reached a state of maturity, which enables it to stimulate the flow of past practical car design configurations. It can thus play a very useful role in car design and development. CFD codes can be used to determine different loads on car and thus provide necessary input for the structural design. They can also be used to study and optimize the flow patterns …
