The students who have succeeded in this course; I.Describe how boundary layer and flow separation affect vehicle aerodynamics II. Identify components of drag force acting on a vehicle III. Explain how positive and negative lift are generated on passenger and formula cars IV. Explain effects of car aerodynamics on economy, performance and road holding of vehicles V. Explain the effect of rear end shape on drag of passenger cars VI. Identify basic drag reducing features of trucks VII. Explain the differences between ducted and unducted radiator systems VIII. Explain how internal air flows (heating, air-conditioning) are considered in vehicle design IX. Identify basic features of wind tunnel testing and Computational Fluid Dynamics in vehicle design X. Solve flow over a wing by CFD |
