  1. 1. Aerodynamic Concept Evaluation of Formula Student Side Structure

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Gabriel Ågren; [2023]
    Keywords : Formula Student; KTH Formula Student; race car aerodynamics; CFD; Multi-element wing;

    Abstract : Formula Student is a global engineering competition where university students collaborate to design, construct, and race formula-style cars. Aerodynamics is one aspect in the vehicle design that can improve on-track performance by increasing cornering and straight-line speed. READ MORE

  2. 2. Undertray Design and Development Procedure with CFD : An Optimization Study of Different UndertrayDesigns with CFD Computations

    University essay from KTH/Strömningsmekanik och Teknisk Akustik

    Author : Aaron Poutiainen; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Race car aerodynamics has played a vital part to improve lap times over the years of motor racing. Having good road adhesion with slick tires and aerodynamic downforce will increase the vehicles maximum lateral force and thus higher cornering speeds can be achieved. READ MORE

  3. 3. Venturi Undertray : KTH Bachelor Thesis Report

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Selma Boudali; Mattias Olausson; [2020]
    Keywords : Race car aerodynamics; undertray; Venturi effect; Formula student; CFD analysis; Topology optimization.; Aerodynamiken på racerbil; underrede; Venturi effekt; CFD analys; Topologioptimering.;

    Abstract : This bachelor thesis aims to describe the work performed for the design of the undertray for the Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan Formula Student(KTHFS) race car. The goal was to achieve an aerodynamically optimized undertray design that follows the regulations of the competition and the targets set by KTHFS concerning the weight, the size, the materials needed for its manufacture and costs.
