MECHANICAL & MANUFACTURING ENGINEERINGPORTFOLIO OF SCIENCE, ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGYRMIT UNIVERSITY39326AbstractAerodynamic devices, such as wings, are used in higher levels of motorsport (Formula-1 etc.) to increase the contact force between the Masters thesis of engineering study of aerofoils at high angle of attack in ground effectroad and tyres (i.e. to generate downforce). This in turn increases the performance envelope of the race car. However the extra downforce increases aeMasters thesis of engineering study of aerofoils at high angle of attack in ground effect
rodynamic drag which (apart from when braking) is generally detrimental to lap-times. The drag acts to slow the vehicle, and hinders the effect of avaStudy of Aerofoils at High Angle of Attack, in Ground Effect.A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree ofMaster of Engineeri Masters thesis of engineering study of aerofoils at high angle of attack in ground effectof attack can be safely reached, although at a higher cost in drag. Variable geometry aerodynamic devices have been used in many forms of motorsport in the past offering the ability to change the relative values of downforce and drag. These have invariably been banned, generally due to safety reason Masters thesis of engineering study of aerofoils at high angle of attack in ground effects. The use of active aerodynamics is currently legal in both Formula SAE (engineering competition for university students to design, build and race anMasters thesis of engineering study of aerofoils at high angle of attack in ground effect

A number of passenger car companies are beginning to incorporate active aerodynamic devices in their deStudy of Aerofoils at High Angle of Attack, in Ground Effect.A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree ofMaster of Engineeri Masters thesis of engineering study of aerofoils at high angle of attack in ground effectd. The purpose of the study was to examine the effect ground proximity on aerofoils post stall, in an effort to evaluate the use of active aerodynamics to increase the performance of a race car. The aerofoils were tested at angles of attack ranging from 0° - 135°. The tests were performed at a Reyno Masters thesis of engineering study of aerofoils at high angle of attack in ground effectlds number of 2.16 X 105 based on chord length. Forces were calculated via the use of pressure taps along the centreline of the aerofoils. The RMIT InMasters thesis of engineering study of aerofoils at high angle of attack in ground effect
dustrial Wind Tunnel (IWT) was used for the testing. Normally 3m wide and 2m high, an extra contraction was installed and the section was reduced to fStudy of Aerofoils at High Angle of Attack, in Ground Effect.A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree ofMaster of Engineeri Masters thesis of engineering study of aerofoils at high angle of attack in ground effectffect caused by the aerofoils when at high angles of incidence. The walls of the tunnel were pressure tapped to allow monitoring of the pressure gradient along the tunnel. The results show a delay in the stall of the aerofoils tested with reduced ground clearance. Two of the aerofoils tested showed Masters thesis of engineering study of aerofoils at high angle of attack in ground effecta decrease in C| with decreasing ground clearance; the third showed an increase. The Cd of the aerofoils post-stall decreased with reduced ground cleaMasters thesis of engineering study of aerofoils at high angle of attack in ground effect
rance. Decreasing ground clearance was found to reduce pitch moment variation of the aerofoils with varied angle of attack.The results were used in a Study of Aerofoils at High Angle of Attack, in Ground Effect.A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree ofMaster of Engineeri Masters thesis of engineering study of aerofoils at high angle of attack in ground effectng by 9% to 1.89g (wings @ 10°), or alternatively its braking by 10% to 2.04g (wings @ 45°). With the wings in thehttps://khothuvien.cori!low-drag position (0° AoA) the addition power requirement would be only 26.ow. However given the added complexity an active aerodynamic system would add the desig Masters thesis of engineering study of aerofoils at high angle of attack in ground effectn, manufacture and testing of a Formula SAE race car, it is unlikely that such a system could be considered worthwhile.iiDeclarationỊ Daniel Waller deMasters thesis of engineering study of aerofoils at high angle of attack in ground effect
