摘要

The Formula SAE event is a low speed racing event with an average speed of 55 km/hr. Designing an aerodynamics package for a racing car competing in this event, provides the challenge of producing high downforce at (very) low speeds. The use of CFD in conjunction with wind tunnel experiments has helped in reducing the design time significantly. This paper highlights the use of FLUENT to design race car aerodynamics. It shows how fairly simple meshing schemes and boundary layer meshing tools available in GAMBIT can give reasonably accurate predictions for the flow over complex wings. The CFD results are compared to the experiments and show that the coefficient of lift can be predicted within a small percentage error, but the coefficient of drag is not predicted very well. This error in drag estimation is not significant in the FSAE application, but could be for other racing events. Important aerodynamic design issues including element gap size, placement of the rear wing in the wake of the helmet and the front wing in ground effect can evaluated quickly and fairly accurately using CFD tools.
