2024 CFD Student Challenge Finalist
Issued by
Cadence Design Systems
The earner has demonstrated to be able to make a fluid flow simulation around the front wing of a race car and find the best design in the provided discrete design space. An example project on a very coarse mesh was provided as a basis to use in Fidelity CFD software. Appropriate mesh refinements had to be applied while staying within a limited cell count. Based on the analysis of the results the design with the highest downforce-to-drag ratio had to be found and a minimum downforce obtained.
Earning Criteria
-
To find the design with the highest downforce-to-drag ratio with a minimum downforce as required for the given conditions.
-
Demonstrated a knowledge in the basic use of the Fidelity CFD environment.
