Introduction
The rear wing is a crucial component for the performance of a Formula One racecar.
These devices contribute to approximately a third of the car's total down force
However, the lower aerofoil creates a low-pressure region just below the wing
Uses the same principle as an aircraft only in reverse direction.
Aircraft uses lift whereas f1 cars uses down-force.
Made up of 2 sets of aerofoil connected to each other by wing endplates
Top aerofoil made up of a maximum of 3 elements
Lower aerofoil made up of single element.
Endplates prevent the air from spilling over the sides of the wings.
Aims and Objectives
To compare different types of rear wing designs with the help of computational fluid dynamics software i.e Gambit and Fluent
To design an rear wing of F1 which will optimise the down force and reduced the drag of an f1 rear wing
FURTHER WORK
Will select the best 2 model from the single element 2D modelling
Will design two different wing with 2 and 3 element in 2D and then will compare with the result achieved.
And finally will design in 3D from the result achieved.
