VIRTUAL WIND TUNNEL

Analyse the aerodynamics of a STEM Racing car using CFD

VWT Mk8 is a Virtual Wind Tunnel Software, which allows students to easily analyse the aerodynamic characteristics of their car design, using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), which is an integral part of the design process for racing car manufacturers and teams.

It is used to streamline the car’s shape by predicting its levels of drag and downforce, which can then be optimised to ensure aerodynamic efficiency and that all 4 wheels remain firmly on the ground!

Technical Details

Programming Features

Downforce and drag on the body of your car
Data graphs of the whole 3D simulation are ready to export
Velocity / pressure contour and vector plots, surface contours, iso-surfaces and streamlines

Recommended System Requirements

Any standard Windows PC: 7, 8, 10 & 11
The software is both CPU- and RAM-intensive, but 8GB RAM should suffice. The more RAM the better the performance
2GHz processor speed [minimum], four cores
No special graphics requirements
The software will run on both 32bit and 64bit PCs
