Guest blog by ECU-Racing on how the team uses CFD simulation to drive aerodynamic design improvements, explaining how CFD simulation results provide help identify problematic aspects such as flow separation, undesirable flow structures, and poor use of flow energy which can then lead to new ideas which can be tested in CFD to improve the overall flow around the car.

Monash Motorsport has been designing Formula Student cars with wings and diffusers for many years, but this process has been fast-tracked through greater automation of Ansys CFD simulations to help the team gather more simulation data points & generate a comprehensive aero map to analyse the impact of changes in vehicle roll, yaw, steer and ride height.
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”3120″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]As we post this blog, hundreds of students are gathering at Winton Motor Raceway, north-east Victoria, for the 2019 Formula-SAE Australasian competition,… Read More »Student teams are ground zero for next-generation of simulation engineers
Highlights from the official launch of ETNZ’s Boat 1 “Te Aihe” including insights from the sailors and CEO about the development of their AC75 class foiling monohull, along with early footage of their first foil during first day’s sailing.
In cricket, reverse swing bowling is much talked-about but often misunderstood. Conditions in the much anticipated 2019 Ashes cricket series between Australia and England are expected to be conducive to reverse-swing bowling. Let’s use some CFD examples to help better understand the science of reverse-swing bowling.
RMIT Racing explains how both their combustion and electric F-SAE teams have decided to employ the use of Augmented Reality (AR) with technical support from LEAP for their 2018 campaigns, including an impressive visualisation of the aerodynamics of the R17c vehicle.
The world’s best solar car teams are driving into Adelaide today, 4-5 days after they started their journey in Darwin, and 2+ years after commencing their initial planning and engineering design following the 2015 competition. Congratulations to all the teams – read more about the simulation work done by committed student teams in the lead-up to this pioneering race.
We are pleased to announce that long term partners of LEAP Australia, Monash Motorsport, have achieved a very respectable fifth place overall in the 2014 Formula Student… Read More »Monash Motorsport take out “Best Use of Virtual Methods to Achieve Vehicle Targets” award at Silverstone
