    Abstract :

    In this paper, a study on the dynamics and airflow effects on the Formula 1 race car is presented. This study Integrates Computational Fluid Dynamic analysis and simulation to reduce the drag and to maximize downforce during high-speed travel of the race car. By using the ANSYS software, the simulation employs efficient meshing techniques and realistic loading conditions to understand downforce on the front and rear wing portions of the race car as well as the drag force created by the exteriors of the car body. Flow of air around the car body under the high velocity of the air are illustrated. The direct angle of attack and geometry modifications on the outer body of the car is performed to enhance the downforce and lessen drag for maximum control and stability during operation. The tools provided in the ANSYS proved to be an efficient means of modifying and correcting geometry.
