This model has a cut on the trailing edge of all wing elements. The aim of this study was to produce reasonable values for the forces and coefficients while learning how to adequately use the softwrae.

In this project we will analise the CD, Cl, CMz and Center of Pressure location.

Testing different rear diffuser geometrys for our FSAE car

I am using this project to learn CFD on SimScale, how to perform convergence studies, and practice post-processing techniques. I have taught myself modeling using Onshape. I made a rear wing using Formula Student regulations and some averaged car dimensions. I have been modifying the design based on CFD results to learn how to manipulate airflow based on certain geometries.  I made sure to include as many of the scalars and vectors in the solution fields as to learn what each graph or image is telling me. I understand that designing a rear wing in free air is almost pointless due to how much the car's airflow changes the performance, so this is just used as a learning platform to get myself started.

Experimenting with different sourced designs to become familiar with expected flow patterns in CFD.

Find forces and coefficients of drag and lift. See the airflow around the car.
