Lemans Hypercar CFD Analysis - V1.0 - Study 1.0

This project has the goal to analyze the inlet airflow in a Formula SAE's airbox car. Particularly I want to simulate the velocity vectors and the pressure of the airflow to understand where to improve the airbox geometry. This will be achieved with a punctual reporting of mass flow outing from mesh, that represents the mass flow entrance in the cylinder of the engine. 
Final goal is to maximize the mass flow.

Fluid Simulation for brake system on Formula SAE Car

Heat transfer simulation of a cooling plate to determine the resulting temperature and heat flux distribution. This project is carried out for the partial fulfillment  of Homework Session of the FEA in Formula Student and Formula SAE Workshop.
Water is circulated through the water jackets inside the plates for the water convection purpose  also convection of air acts on the outer surfaces of the plates.

In this project static structural FEA of front upright of Formula Student Vehicle is carried out under loading conditions. 800 newtons of force is applied at the both upper and lower control arm and 5000 newtons of force is applied as brake force and the behavior of upright is observed for the further considerations and use in vehicle.

The undertray is known to be the most aerodynamically efficient downforce generating device. Theoretically, almost 50-60 percentage of the downforce generated by the aerodynamic package of an F1 car is generated by the undertray. Moreover, the undertray produces a very minimal amount of drag force owing to its reduced frontal area hence the lift(here downforce) to drag ratio is very high. Therefore, optimizing the undertray design is of great significance to the overall downforce generated by a car.

This project  involves meshing externally an F1 type Front Wing, and then simulating its' operation when facing a horizontal airflow of 20 m/s. Nowadays it is very common to witness F1 type cars using this type of leaf-like wings, called cascades, acting to generate vortices behind them that spiral upwards and outwards in channels controlled to the millimeter and shaped around the front wheels, towards the underfloor, through and around radiator inlets and between suspension components, and lately , it has been introduced by some Formula Student teams as well.  For this case a Symmetry plane was added midst the Part, and half the part was used for meshing and simulation for simplification. A steady state incompressible flow simulation is executed to visualize the air flow around the bodywork and wings of the part, as well as the pressure distribution, the outwash effect of the cascade and endplate, as well as the vortices of the footplate.
