Abstract

This study focuses on the aerodynamic analysis and design optimization of a spoiler and mounting bracket for a Formula Student race car. The challenge at hand is to develop an effective spoiler and mounting brackets for a Formula Student race car, with a limited budget and advanced knowledge and access to sophisticated machinery. This project aims to create a spoiler that, while budget friendly, incorporates a simplified yet efficient design. The task involves leveraging limited resources, combining advanced aerodynamic knowledge with innovative engineering techniques to craft a spoiler that enhances the car's performance while being cost-effective. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations testing is employed as methodologies to analyze the airflow, visualize flow patterns, calculate drag and lift forces, and validate the proposed design modifications. From the obtained results, it can be conclude that the aim of this project has been achieved, which is to create an efficient spoiler system for a formula student racing car that also adheres to the safety regulations and requirements. The spoiler system setup was managed to get done, but not perfect enough due to limited time and budget. This product also was successfully fabricated within the specification time given. This spoiler system will be improved in the future to achieve the better quality and performance if given the time for development.
