Study of F1 car aerodynamics front wing using computational fluid dynamics (CFD)

The aim of this thesis is to analyze a basic front wing of a typical Formula One car using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Commercial software Gambit and Fluent was used in this CFD analysis and Solid Works as tool for designing the front wing. The front wing is crucial in term of its influence...
