Description
The comprehensive, comprehensible guide to the aerodynamics of motorsport.
From historical background to state of the art techniques, and with
chapters covering airdams, splitters, spoilers, wings, underbodies and
myriad miscellaneous devices, Competition Car Aerodynamics 3rd Edition
also features in-depth case studies from across the motorsport spectrum
to help develop a comprehensive understanding of the subject.
Synopsis
Aerodynamics has become an increasingly significant performance enhancer
over the past 50 years. Competition Car Aerodynamics 3rd Edition continues
the practical, hands-on approach of its popular predecessors to cover all
aspects of motorsport aerodynamics and features yet more CFD and wind tunnel
project material and case studies.
Aerodynamic theory is tackled in a comprehensive yet comprehensible
way by author Simon McBeath, who has been granted unprecedented access
to state of the art computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques, as well
as regular access to the MIRA full-scale wind tunnel in the UK. Photographs,
graphs, CFD-generated images and wind tunnel data – much of which has appeared
in the successful Aerobytes series in Racecar Engineering – are used to
explain with unrivalled clarity how aerodynamic performance benefits are
obtained in practice. With case studies from Formula 1, sports prototypes,
Formula 3, GT and saloon cars, club single seaters and karts, this book
will appeal to anyone, whether a designer, competitor, student or armchair
enthusiast, wishing to gain an understanding of aerodynamics and how it
can benefit the performance of all types of competition cars.
