CAE frame work for aerodynamic design development of automotive vehicles
Maximizing fuel efficiency of a vehicle is one of the prime areas of focus in the highly competitive automotive industry which requires development of efficient and optimized vehicle designs. External aero analysis using Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) techniques is widely used in the accurate estimation of an automotive vehicle’s drag coefficient, often critical in determining […]
Cranfield team F1: the front wing
Cranfield Formula 1 Team is a group design project composed of five students, each of them being responsible for the design of one part of the vehicle. The present thesis deals with the front wing design. According to the time allowed to do the thesis and to learn the relevant software to use, three models […]
Cranfield University Formula 1 team: an aerodynamic study of the cockpit
The importance of aerodynamics to a modern Formula 1 racing car are quantified and illustrated through the design procedure of the cockpit models investigated in this study. This is one of five individual studies carried out on different aerodynamic components of a Formula 1 racing vehicle by the Cranfield University Formula 1 Team.. An overview […]
