The influence of the gap on the air intake grille on the downforce of a car

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This study investigates the impact of varying air intake grille intervals on the downforce of vehicles. The analysis is conducted using fluid finite element analysis with ANSYS Fluent software. Various grille intervals are tested to determine their influence on airflow and downforce. Results indicate that grille intervals significantly affect downforce, with the optimal interval identified for achieving maximum aerodynamic efficiency. The findings provide insights for optimizing grille design to enhance vehicle performance.
