Computational Analysis of Air Wings to Evaluate Downforce and Lift-Drag Ratio: Technical Note
Main Article Content
Abstract
Air wings with NACA air foil profiles are designed and analysed for their aerodynamics at 40m/s. More than one air profile has been analysed to find the suitable air wing meeting the requirement and efficiency. An air wing in an automobile experiences aerodynamic forces and act as an inverted air foil. The efficiency of an air wing can be determined by down force - drag ratio i.e., it has to produce more down force with least possible drag caused by its frontal area of cross section.
