RACING THROUGH THE WIND: DECIPHERING THE AERODYNAMIC IMPACT OF SPOILER SHAPE AND SETTING ANGLES ON CAR PERFORMANCE
Abstract
This study delves into the intricate realm of aerodynamics in racing car design, specifically focusing on the effects of spoiler shape and setting angles on overall performance. Employing advanced computational simulations and wind tunnel experiments, we unravel the complex interplay between aerodynamic components and racing car dynamics. Our findings provide valuable insights into optimizing spoiler configurations to enhance both speed and stability, contributing to the ongoing pursuit of peak racing car performance.
