In this modern world aerodynamics plays vital role in super cars and it predominantly used in Motorsports industry for achieving vehicle better performance.This master thesis portrays that can be viewed about the methods of aerodynamic characteristics and why aerodynamics plays a vital role in super cars in efficient way. By installing spoiler,splitter and drag reduction in super cars for achieving better performance of the vehicle. Propose a method of reducing the drag and increase the down force in efficient way for the better function.As this mainly uses aerodynamic devices to affect the flow, a conventional spoiler is used here to spoil the oncoming flow with different types of spoiler design.Even in today’s modern technique all the super cars are not able to reduce the drag in efficient way because of its overall weight of the vehicle.The most essential thing is replacing all the parts of vehicles metal body by current efficient material will put super cars in question mark because it cannot be used for commercial purpose.So here a proposed method is to trim the side body in design and installing wind splitter and spoiler to achieve better performance in similar geometry shape. Nowadays, all the super cars have independent working of front and rear spoilers, but in this thesis splitter and spoiler are collaborated towards each other in efficient way. |
