Abstract |
|
Aerodynamic force plays an important role in vehicle performance and its stability when vehicle reach at higher speed. Now a day the maximum speed of car has been increase above 180km/hour but at this speed the car has been greatly influenced by drag and lift forces. So the researches are mainly focused in reduction of co-efficient of drag and lift in car model at higher speed. Even though the various techniques are found by researches for improving vehicle performance and its stability still, we need for further improvement. So, implementing “AIR-DAM’ or “FRONT SPOILER†as an aerodynamic add on device at front portion of the vehicle. The various shape of AIR-DAM is analysis to obtain the efficient one to reduce the aerodynamic lift forces. MIRA car reference fast back model is use to analyses to AIR-DAM. |
