This project investigates how underfloor ground-effect aerodynamics influence aerodynamic downforce generation using a simplified 2D CFD model. A venturi-based floor geometry is analysed to study the effects of ride height and diffuser angle on pressure distribution and vertical aerodynamic load, with implications for cornering performance in Formula 1.
