Session 1 – Fundamentals of Aerodynamics

November 7th 2018

The first session will cover the Fundamentals of Aerodynamics. Participants will learn about boundary layer and airfoil theory and how to apply this knowledge to design wings.

Session 2 – Complete Car Aerodynamics

November 15th 2018

The second session will build on the knowledge acquired during the first session. Participants will learn about the fundamental concepts of Computational Fluid Dynamics and how to create a full car aerodynamics simulation.

Session 3 – Development Strategies

November 22th 2018

During the third session, participants will learn how to develop the aerodynamics of their car based on CFD. We will highlight the best practices for aerodynamics development and perform a live demonstration of a design improvement with the aid of simulation.

Session 4 – Design Process

November 29th 2018

The final session will show the participants how to apply their new knowledge of aerodynamics and CFD to their own car design process. The focus will be very hands-on with topics like model cleanup and maintenance as well as CFD methodology and validation.
