 INTRODUCTION

 AERODYNAMICS :
Study of forces generated by motion of air on moving body.

 CLASSIFACATION OF AERODYNAMICS :
External and internal, subsonic , supersonic , hypersonic

 FIELDS OF APPLICATION :
Aerospace engineering, design of automobiles , ships , civil
engineering , design of bridges etc.
AERODYNAMIC FORCES ON A BODY

 LIFT
(DOWNFORCE)

 DRAG

 WEIGHT

 THRUST
 HISTORY OF EVOLUTION OF
AERODYNAMICS

 DESIGN’S IN EARLY 20th CENTURY :

vehicles with low speeds, no aerodynamic problems.

 CAR’S IN THE EARLY 50’s :

vehicles designed for big family’s , complete negligence
of aerodynamics.

 CARS AFTER 70’s :

Fuel crisis , need of economic designs , evolution of
aerodynamics.
 WHY WE NEED TO IMPROVE
AERODYNAMICS IN
CARS,BIKES,AERO SPACE And OTHER
VEHICLES
 SPEED
Better aerodynamics higher will be the speeds.

 FUEL EFFICIENCY
Better aerodynamics , less work for engine.

 METHODS TO EVALUATE
AERODYNAMICS
FOR ALL VEHICLES
 WIND TUNNELS
• Research tool to study effect of air
moving over a solid object.
• Trial and error process.
• Special pressure paints for analysis.
• Detailed analysis of air flow patterns.
• Analyzing for the optimal design.
 SOFTWARES

 DEVELOPMENTS IN CFD
 ANSYS, CATIA,ALIAS STUDIO
 ANALYZE CHANGES DURING DESIGN
PHASE AND DEVELOPMENT
 REDUCES TIME TO DEVELOP
OPTIMAL DESIGN
 ABLE TO STUDY INDIVIDUAL
ELEMENTS, MORE EFFECTIVE
 AERODYNAMIC IMPROVEMNTS
IN THE VEHICLES THAT WE ALREADY
OWN

 Keep your vehicle washed and waxed

 Remove mud flaps behind wheels
 Place license plate out of air flow
 Avoid roof-racks or carriers
 Close windows, close sunroof
 FRONT END OF CARS

 Frontal Pressure
 Pressure Difference
 Minimize Frontal Area
 REDUCE Coefficient of Drag
 SCOOPS

 Engine Cooling
 Increases Flow
Rate of Air
 REAR END

 Rear Vacuum
 Flow Detachment
 Turbulence
 WINGS

 Produce Down Force

 Reduce Drag
Application-1
 Body nose is narrow so the front wing
will have more spans and the venture is
wider
 This helps a car grip well on the track
while it is racing
Application-2
 Wing attached in the rear of the car
 This feature helps to generate down
force and reduce drag, which able to
achieve a higher speed and better
stability for a car

 CONCLUSION

 Aerodynamics in vehicles is a factor in

the over all performance of the
cars,bikes,aeroplanes. etc. it should
never be compromised.
