Learn the key considerations in geometric modeling of race cars and its influence on aerodynamic performance Explore the setup of a virtual wind tunnel environment and its importance in aerodynamic analysis. Understand the mechanical setup of a racing car and its implications on aerodynamics. Learn abo...
Then, ride height configurations are made to analyse the aerodynamic behaviour of the car based on the track setup adjustments in order to produce varying downforce and drag. Finally, Slipstream condition of simulating two cars in straight is established to investigate the aerodynamic forces acting ...
F1 空气动力学Aerodynamics Aerodynamics A modern Formula One car has almost as much in common with a jet fighter as it does with an ordinary road car. Aerodynamics have become key to success in the sport and teams spend tens of millions of dollars on research and development in the field ...
Today's F1 cars are a tour-de-force in aerodynamic design, optimized to generate downforce. While F1 cars appear to be governed by aerodynamic design considerations, which they are, more importantly they are also governed by rules that attempt to keep speeds, especially cornering speeds, within ...
Monza see the cars stripped of as much wing as possible, to reduce drag and increase speed on the long straights. Every single surface of a modern Formula One car, from the shape of the suspension links to that of the driver's helmet - has its ...
However, some racing cars of the early 1900s incorporated tapering and aerodynamic features to one degree or another. In 1921, German inventor Edmund Rumpler created the Rumpler-Tropfenauto, which translates into "tear-drop car." Based on the most aerodynamic shape in nature, the teardrop, it...
Now Mercedes wants the F1 team to be part of the development of every new electric car. EQXX interior The all-new EV platform from Mercedes will be unveiled next year and the first vehicle to be based on it will be very efficient. The company claims it will be very aerodyna...
This should also lead to more aero performance retained on cars following in the wake of another car. Claiming back lost aero performance (to good levels) proved to be a true challenge for the aerodynamicists. Reliance exclusively on knowledge and insights gained from intensive engineering of ...
F1 EXPLAINS: Downforce and why F1 cars have wings – with McLaren Aero Specialist Emel Cankaya News Veteran team boss Franz Tost gives his take on Antonelli and the biggest challenge he will face in F1 News Mercedes confirm 'substantial' upgrade for Austin as they look to celebrate another ...
High-performance road cars have also been using active aerodynamic devices to improve deceleration capability, starting from the McLaren F1, which incorporates an active rear spoiler that raises during braking with the goal of increasing drag and rear downforce, thus counteracting the inertial and aerod...
