Simulation and Analysis of Formula Racing Car Double Tail Based on CFD Technology

Article Preview

Abstract:

Rear wing is the most predominant element to racing car aerodynamics. Double tail race car would be the most suitable choice to make a brilliant balance between cost and performance. A simplified formula student racing car model was simulated employing CFD method. The double tail was carried on four factors four levels orthogonal design method and the optimal value of each factor was achieved. The results show that the whole car aerodynamic performance can be improved with the appropriate position and angle of attack of the double tail.
