Abstract

Aerodynamic force plays an important role in vehicle performance and its stability when vehicle reaches higher speed. Nowadays the maximum speed of car has been increased above 180 km/hr but at this speed the car has been greatly influenced by drag and lift forces. So the researchers 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 researchers for improving vehicle performance and its stability still we are in need of further improvement. So we are implementing “AIR-DAM” or “FRONT SPOILER” as an aerodynamic add on device at front portion of vehicle. The various shape of air dam are analyzed to obtain the efficient one to reduce the aerodynamic lift forces. MIRA car reference fast back model is used to analyses to Air-dam.
