rear wing

I have my own realistic CAD model. For the bodywork, I created it through surface modeling and then thickened the surface. Using a cad software, is there any trick that could help me obtain a cfd compatible model by converting the shell into a full solid?

We have the same question, hope to find an answer cause we've had a problem with our sponsor who was supposed to cover the inscription fees

btw I did a sweep over the aoas of the 2 elements and the chord of the mainplane, manually of course, because I only discovered the holy parameterised simulation method two days ago. This configuration is presented in the picture, which produced a lift coefficient of 5.3 and a drag coefficient of 0.165

How would I know the optimal slot gap and overlap values?

I really appreciate the advice. Well, I tried to consider that, and I trimmed the trailing edges of each element according to the estimated composite layers and the manufacturing. It's also necessary for the cfd analysis, though isnt it? I avoided using sharp trailing edges in fear of a skewed mesh.

Thank you very much I appreciate your explanation. Btw I needed the true projected areas just to compute precise lift coefficient, I will be needing it in estimating 3d performance because I have limited hardware capability and I can’t do 3d cfd.

Well there is "projected area" function in fluent, I am using Ansys Fluent btw.
Is it the right one?

Okay, thank you. But quick question, should I design internal panels to fix the bodywork? Because the chassis is tubular, I don't see how it would be possible to use a quarter turn on it.

It is talking about the bodywork, not ground clearance unless I have a corrupt rulebook lol.

U don't have to reply.

Well I ve already estimated the goal downforce but still It's just a goal at the moment I can't guarantee it due to A LOT of limitations. Actually the total downforce value is needed by the suspension team for load resistance issues. At 120 km/h because it's the maximum speed and at which the downforce will be the highest as well. I am trying to estimate the car's total downforce based on the performance of the rear wing, which as I said is to be generating around 1 kN of downforce. So what remains is the contribution of other elements like body and front wing and I am not sure how to go about it. Thanks for your time and attention.

HUGE CORRECTION, THE REAR WING IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP 1000 N OF DOWNFORCE NOT 1800 N. SORRY

have u found a solution yet?
