This project focuses on enhancing the aerodynamic performance of an F4 race car through advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and potential experimental validation. The goal is to achieve a significant increase in downforce and reduction in drag compared to a baseline configuration, while maintaining optimal aerodynamic balance. Design modifications will target key areas, including front and rear wings, underbody and diffuser, and overall bodywork streamlining. High-fidelity CFD simulations will be employed for detailed analysis of pressure distributions, velocity fields, and vortex structures. Parametric studies and sensitivity analyses will quantify the impact of design variations and vehicle setup changes. If resources allow, wind tunnel or track testing will validate CFD predictions. The project aims to provide a data-driven approach to aerodynamic optimization, resulting in improved lap times and enhanced vehicle handling.
