Flow over the FSAE racing car
In this project, you will be cleaning up the geometry, creating a virtual wind tunnel and setting up the case in Converge Studio by providing appropriate boundary conditions. Through this project, you will be getting a very good insight on the concepts of Turbulence modelling, Y+, calculating 1st cell height near the wall and also understand how to make use of Y+ calculator to calculate base grid size. You will get exposed to very strong features of fixed embedding, volume refinement, boundary layer generation which are really important as it gives user, a very good control on the cell count and cell count can easily be optimized using these features. You will either be making use MS - EXCEL or PYTHON coding to compare the drag and down force experienced by each component of the FSAE racing car.
