Formula SAE Aerodynamics Design & Analysis
This aerodynamics package was designed around 2020 Formula SAE rules with DFM as a significant objective. The package contains bodywork, front and rear wings, as well as an undertray/diffuser. Modelling and tooling design was done through Solidworks (imported curves, lofts, surfaces).
ANSYS Fluent was used for CFD simulations. 2-D parametric CFD analysis was performed to determine the airfoil sizing and stacking arrangement for the multi-element front and rear wings. 3-D CFD with k-epsilon turbulence model was applied to a half-car model for performance prediction and design guidance.
