LATEST: Competition Car Aerodynamics follows the down-to-earth philosophy of its well-received predecessor Competition Car Downforce, but incorporates major updates and additional information to covre all aspects of aerodynamics. Theory is tackled in a comprehensive yet comprehensible way by the author who has been granted unrivalled access to state-of-the-art fluid-flow simulation techniques, known as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Photographs and graphs - many provided by Advantage CFD and seen in the successful 'Aerobytes' series in Racecar Engineering magazine - are used to explain with unrivalled clarity how aerodynamic performance benefits are obtained in practice. With case studies from Formula One, ChampCar, sports prototypes, GT and saloon cars this book will appeal to anyone wishing to gain an undestanding of how a knowledge of aerodynamics can benefit the performance of all types of competition cars. | |
