Aerodynamics is a science in itself, and is one of the most important factors in modern competition This new book now covers all aspects of, aerodynamics covers both downforce and drag. This complex `subject is explained in down-to-earthh terms, with the aid of numerous illustrations, including colour CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) diagrams to demonstrated how aerodynamic devices work. The book comes with a free DVD from Advantage CFD describing the company and provides examples of the use of CFD. -
Key content
- Presented with a DVD providing examples of the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), produced in association with Advantage CFD - owned by and aerodynamic consultants to Honda Racing F1 team.
- How aerodynamic forces are generated, drag and lift, aerodynamic efficiency and three-dimensional flow.
- Determining aerodynamic performance using flow visualisation, data logging, wind tunnels and scale model testing.
- Case studies including interviews and discussions on how competitors and teams use aerodynamic devices and what benefits they have gained.
