A key objective of this work will be to use CFD simulations to optimise the shape of the front wing.
CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations are widely used in the design of aerodynamic elements in the automotive and aerospace industries.
In the final phase of this work, the front wing will be tested in a wind tunnel to verify the results from CFD simulations under realistic conditions.
This downscaling helped to better compare the results of the CFD simulations, and the wind tunnel measurements had a similar result with small deviations that could have been due to imperfect model surface or deviations in the CFD model.

Good correlation has been found in drag values and the flow patterns obtained from towing tank tests and CFD simulations.
This can be seen in the simulation results of drag shown Fig 16 wherein the simulation was run till it converges to a steady drag.
The flow patterns at 9 kmph obtained from experimental testing and CFD simulation are shown in Fig 20 and Fig 21 for comparison.
Sample Error Calculation: Experimental Drag value for 8kmph is 528 kg and the value obtained from CFD simulation is 484.2 kg.
The smoother surface in CFD simulation might have resulted in generation of lesser viscous drag.
