Design and optimization of the aerodynamics packages of a Formula SAE® race car : a report submitted to the faculty of the Milwaukee School of Engineering in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Engineering / by Chao Pan. by Pan, Chao, author., Kumpaty, Dr. Subha, Acharya, Dr. Kishore, committee member, Shimek, Gary, Milwaukee School of Engineering [Milwaukee School of Engineering], [2016] Subjects Automobiles, Racing -- Aerodynamics   Automobiles, Racing -- Performance   Experimental design   MSE Project. Description:  118 leaves : illustrations, some of which are in color ; 29 cm Contents:  Introduction -- Background -- Basic theories and background for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) -- CFD simulation of an initial design of a Formula SAE® race car -- Rear wings design -- Front wings design -- Optimized race car design -- Lap simulation -- Conclusion -- Appendix A. Dimension data of S1223 airfoil -- B. Track map data. The purpose of this Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) capstone design project report is to describe and to explain the design and optimization of the aerodynamics packages of a Formula SAE® race car. The goals of this MSE capstone project include the design and optimization of the Formula SAE® race car body developed by students in the Formula SAE® of China. The project targets the aerodynamics packages of the car, including the rear and the front wings. SolidWorks software was first employed to model the vehicle, its aerodynamics packages, and a wind tunnel simulation. ANSYS ICEM computational fluid dynamics (CFD) mesh generation software was then employed to generate finite element meshing for the model in preparation for a CFD simulation. A CFD simulation was then performed with ANSYS FLUENT software. In these CFD simulations, variations in the design of the aerodynamics packages were simulated and tested. A lap simulation, using the aerodynamics characteristics obtained from the CFD simulations and other parameters from the race car, was then completed. In this case, after optimization of the aerodynamics packages, downforce of the vehicle increased from -6.69 N to 409.57 N at the speed of 25 m/s. In addition, the total time of a lap simulation of a certain track decreased from 1559.92 s to 1353.99 s. In this project, the aerodynamics packages were successfully optimized to achieve a better performance.
