In this project, I performed a computational airflow analysis over a simplified Formula 1 front-wing model using the online simulation platform SimScale. The aim was to understand how the shape and angle of the wing influence aerodynamic forces such as downforce and drag. A wind-tunnel environment was created digitally, and simulations were run at a constant airflow velocity. Pressure distribution, velocity fields, and airflow streamlines around the wing were visualized to study how air interacts with the geometry. I also compared results for two different angles of attack to observe how aerodynamic behaviour changes with wing orientation. This project demonstrates fundamental concepts of automotive aerodynamics, mechanical engineering, and design optimization, and showcases the use of engineering simulation tools commonly employed in industry.
