Abstract

With increase in the number of accidents, the automotive industry always strive for measures to improve safety of passenger vehicles at high speeds. Proper orientation of spoiler gives maximum down-force with least drag-force .The aerodynamic performance of Formula-One car is determined by measuring the drag-force and down-force acting on the car. Various geometric models of the car are created in the CAD package CREO 2. The CFD analysis is done by using ANSYS CFX. It shows the flow pattern over the car. The behavior of the flow is greatly influenced by the spoilers which were simulated with the rear end of car and therefore the design has to take into account the environment of the spoilers. The spoilers demonstrate their utilities as deflectors that are able to deflect the flow downward.
