Description

Formula 1 is a famous motorsport, and the element that sets it apart from other motorsports is the forces that are generated on the cars in the dynamic environment. Teams spend millions of dollars to extract the best performance from their cars, to take corners on the track at the highest speed possible. This project report is going to talk about how a car drafting behind another car affects the drag, downforce, and pressure on a car. To get data, I will use Blender to make 3d models, and then use Ansys to do the fluid dynamics calculations.
