Comparative CFD Analysis of Angles of attack to increase aerodynamics properties
Year: 2024
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: In the contemporary landscape, discussions of turbulence often lead to thoughts of incompressible fluids and their behaviour in nature. However, as the pursuit of energy efficiency and performance takes precedence in major aviation and automotive industries, safety and comfort remain achievable. Spoilers on sedan cars, designed to counteract lift and enhance grip, also increase drag. Aerofoils play a vital role in reducing drag while increasing lift force. This study compares three different angles of attack to identify the one that generates the best performance, based on its aerodynamic coefficients. In a world focused on ecological preservation and fuel efficiency, these studies become essential.
