Lecture

Frontwing Design: EPFL Racing Team

Description

This lecture focuses on the design of the frontwing for an electric race car, aiming to maximize downforce and optimize airflow to enhance overall performance. The instructor explains the key role of aerodynamics in racing cars, the design considerations for generating downforce, and the impact of drag and lift forces on car stability and speed. The lecture also covers the importance of reducing drag and increasing downforce for quality design, the performance differences between symmetrical and cambered profiles, and the optimization of frontwing design through numerical simulations using Ansys Fluid.
