Overview This project performs a comparative CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis of 16th-century Japanese Samurai helmets (Kabuto). The study focuses on the aerodynamic impact of traditional ornamental designs (Maedate) and how they interact with the airflow at equestrian combat speeds. Scope of Analysis Object: High-fidelity Kabuto model integrated with a mounted rider and horse to simulate realistic flow interaction (Upwash/Wake). Parameters: Evaluating Drag Coefficient (Cd), lift forces, and turbulent kinetic energy. Goal: To visualize the aerodynamic characteristics of historical armor using modern F1-grade simulation techniques. Simulation Setup Solver: Incompressible / Steady State Turbulence Model: k-ω SST (Selected for superior boundary layer and separation modeling). Inlet Velocity: 15m/s (Approx. 54km/h), representing a charging cavalry speed. About the Author Aspiring Formula 1 Aerodynamicist. This project is part of a personal research series exploring the intersection of historical heritage and fluid dynamics. 🔗Follow the journey on Instagram: @capricorn_azure
