Fundamental Aerodynamic Effect

When an aerofoil / wing is subjected to an airflow it produces lift, flipping this aerofoil upside down creates an opposing negative lift, also known as Downforce.

Downforce creates additional weight for a vehicle. This extra weight pushes the vehicle more firmly to the ground increasing the available grip as well the speed in which the vehicle can corner without slipping

Though the addition of downforce decreases lap times through increased cornering speeds, this has the negative effect of creating excess Drag, slowing the vehicle down during high speed straights. This is why the DRS system was introduced.

Though testing is not finalized, from the illustrated table I am expecting an increase in downforce by up to 15% without a drastic change in drag

Downforce can be calculated by using the following equation:

“Downforce(N) = ½(ρ)(A)(Cl)(V)^2”

The next step is to complete manufacturing and retrieve wind tunnel results.

Further CFD analysis will be completed to compile more accurate and realistic results.

AIMS & OBJECTIVES

ABSTRACT

The project was conducted to investigate the impact that development in aerodynamics has had on the F1 industry and explains the principles of the addition of multiple elements to the rear wing and its implication in F1 competition.

The aim of this project is to research into factors affecting the effectiveness of the rear wing.

The objective of this project is to design and develop a duel-element rear wing attached with end plates for the purpose of wind tunnel testing and comparison

• Prior to manufacturing of rear wing, a computer aided design was developed on Solid works - (1)

• Computer fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation on single element wing - (2)

• Machining of rear F1 duel element wing and end plates ( utilizing the heavy machinery such as the milling machine and laser cuter) –(3)
