INTRODUCTION
AERODYNAMICS :
Study of forces generated by motion of air on moving body.
CLASSIFACATION OF AERODYNAMICS :
external and internal, subsonic , transonic , supersonic , hypersonic.
FIELDS OF APPLICATION :
aerospace engineering, design of automobiles , ships , civil
engineering , design of bridges etc.
METHODS TO EVALUATE AERODYNAMICS IN CARS
WIND TUNNELS
Research tool to study effect of air moving over a solid object.
Trial and error process.
Special pressure paints for analysis.
Detailed analysis of air flow patterns.
Analyzing for the optimal design.
CONCLUSION
Aerodynamics in cars is a factor in the over all performance of the car, it should never be compromised.
