M IMPACT OF AERODYNAMICS ON AUTOMOBILES INTRODUCTION Aerodynamic forces are caused by the relative motion of automobiles with air and they cause: Drag (resistance to forward motion) Lift / down force (come into play during cornering and acceleration) Lateral forces (comes into play during cornering) Moments in roll‚ pitch and yaw As a result these factors have to be taken into consideration during automobile design. THEORY BEHIND AERODYNAMIC FORCES The sources of aerodynamic forces are

Spears July 10‚ 2011 Abstract Aerodynamics is known as the study of the different forces acting on an object and the resulting motion of objects as they fly through the air. Today we know that aerodynamics plays a major role in many sports‚ such as tennis‚ soccer‚ hunting‚ and motor sports‚ we will investigate the effects

1 Aerodynamics 2 MEC 3706/MEC 3220 Assignment 1 Due Date: 14-1-2010 (11:30 am) Q1. Plot the pressure distribution over the symmetrical double wedge‚ 8 per cent thick supersonic aerofoil shown in figure below when the Mach number meets the upper surface (a) tangentially (b) 12º and (c) .9º. Compare the lift‚ drag and pitching moment coefficients for these incidents. Assume ε0=6º Q2 A thin wing can be modeled as a 2m wide flat plate set at an angle of 5º to the upstream flow. If the wing

Aerodynamics Aerodynamics is a branch of fluid dynamics concerned with the study of gas flows. The solution of an aerodynamic problem normally involves calculating for various properties of the flow‚ such as velocity‚ pressure‚ density‚ and temperature‚ as a function of space and time. Understanding the flow pattern makes it possible to calculate or approximate the forces and moments acting on bodies in the flow. This mathematical analysis and empirical approximation form the scientific basis

Racing is My Passion Every Saturday night during the summer I get to expierience a rush and addiction which is driving my race car. I get a feeling in my stomach that I can’t breathe‚ nervous stomach that almost makes me feel sick. Sitting there with anticipation‚ strapped in with all my seat belts so tight I can’t move. I am holding the steering wheel so tight my knuckles are white‚ looking around and knowing the other drivers want to win as badly as I do‚ all of us just waiting for the

The Art of Race Car Driving Have you ever wondered what would be like to race stock cars and open-wheelers or dragsters? What about over forty years ago? How would it be divergent? To fathom how it was so long ago‚ it is pivotal to learn about what happened outside of the track during the 1970s- such as the unending war with Vietnam or the tensions between African Americans and whites‚ women gaining rights and respect‚ or Native Americans searching for courtesy. Race car driving in the 1970s was

When you hear the word aerodynamics‚ the first thing that comes to mind is airplanes and pilots. There are other applications that apply. For instance‚ the passing of a football. A football that is thrown into the air has inertia. This is the tendency of an object in motion to remain in motion. But because of gravity the ball is pulled down and resistance that slows the ball down. A quarterback through the motions of his and body‚ must balance the forward momentum that he gives the ball‚ fighting
