As part of thermofluids analysis, the effects of vehicle design were studied. A range of concept sketches were drawn and then after using CAD to convert these to 3D bodies, they were tested using Solidworks Computational Fluid Dynamics tool. The surface pressure, flow trajectories and other metrics were analysed and two of my cars that I designed were tested.
The two designs had varying results as one's form was based on the futuristic Tesla Cyber truck with the other one replicating the rounded 1950’s sports cars shape such as the Alpha Romeo Disco Volante.
