| Description: |
Modern Formula race teams are using CFD to maximize the
aerodynamic performance of their racing cars.
To obtain an optimal design with the best balance of
mechanical components, performance, and aerodynamic
efficiencies, engineers are evaluating potential designs
through high fidelity CFD calculations. The goal of this
analysis is to identify local flow-features in the context
of desired performance for drag and balanced downforce.
Teams like Renault Tatuus are translating Direct
CFD tools into reduced lap times on the race track.
Formula teams work in a fast-moving design environment
and need to simplify workflows, reduce analysis time, and
make quicker comparisons. Computational methods with a
direct connection to CAD programs are one way to speed
iterations throughout the design cycle. Teams like Renault
Tatuus are translating these Direct CFD tools into reduced
lap times on the race track.
This Webinar will discuss how immersed boundary
technology in KARALIT CFD together with advanced post-
processing in
Tecplot 360 EX revolutionized the CFD analysis of a Formula
Renault
Tatuus 2000 race-car (courtesy of Tatuus Racing).
You will learn how to automate, simplify, and speed up
multiple full-car simulations of unique design points. We
will illustrate the process by evaluating car designs of:
- Rear wing location
- Interior engine-bay flow
- Overall exterior aerodynamics
And finally, we will present the assessment of
performance parameters including drag, lift, and detailed
analysis of
the main flow field.
