Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Workflow
Computational Fluid Dynamics Workflow or ‘CFD’ Workflow is an integral element of the teams testing and simulation system. It allows the Dynamics department to compare results from past to current runs using graphs, tables, images and videos. Recently we have undergone a major upgrade to this workflow, making it fully automated.
Aero Mapping
Aero mapping is one of the methods we use to optimize our car’s performance across the lap. In addition to making aerodynamic design decisions, aero mapping also helps us tune our suspension parameters and determine optimal vehicle setup based around enhancing aero performance.
New Rules Freshen the Air around M15
With the introduction of new rules for 2015, Monash Motorsport’s Aerodynamics section has returned to a ground up design philosophy for this year’s aero package.
Aerodynamics: On–track Flow Visualisation
M13′s aerodynamic package saw huge gains over its predecessors, mostly due to the implementation of a drag reduction system allowing for a more aggressive design for downforce, which was visualised using flow vis paint.
