Lukács Eszter Vehicle Aerodynamics,

Introduction High-performance cars: high accerelation, high deceleration, excellent maneuverability, high top speed  Sports cars: designed for „public transport”, high power/weight ratio, center of gravity close to the ground, design  Racing cars: very special regulation extremely big downward acting force, good steering abilities, safety  Record braking cars: designed for extreme velocities, low drag and high directional stability is extremely important 2

Historical milestones – record breaking cars  1899: Camille Jenatzy (belgian race car driver) first to exceed the 100km/h limit with his electric car, named: La Jamais Contente (never satisifed) cigar-shape inspired by airship  1929: Henry Segrave (english fighter pilot) beats the 200 mph record with the Golden Arrow record on land and water  1928: Fritz con Opel (alias Rocket Fritz) OPEL-RAK 2 rocket-car; the first car with horizontal wings  1930: T80 designed by Ferdinand Porche, streamlined body, horizontal and vertical wings never put on track because of WW2 3

 1947: John Cobb passes 634 km/h, record not tied till the 60’s  1970: Gary Gabelich reaches km/h with the rocket driven Blue Flame  1979: Stan Barret passes the speed of sound with Budweiser Rocket velocity record of 1190 km/h never became official  1983: Richard Noble designes the Thrust SSC-t, record-holder till today with 1228 km/h (1997). Consumption: 5500 l/100 km 4 Historical milestones – record breaking cars

 1887: the first car race, distance of 2km, the winner: Georges Bouton (the only racer…)  1914: open passenger compartment, uncovered wheels Lautenschlager Mercedes Cd = 0.65  1923: Benz Tropfenwagen, teardrop shaped car Streamlined cars gain importance before WW2  1955: Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR, retractable flap increases the drag coefficient from 0.44 to 1.09, Le Mans 24h-race  1967: Chaparral 2F; the first racing car with wings to reduce the lifting force 5 Historical milestones – racing cars

 1969: Chaparral 2J, two fans at the rear of the car, increased downforce Banned.  1975: Ken Tyrrell (first served in the Royal Air Force, than timber merchant) Six-wheeled car. Banned. Strange record: his team was punished the most.  1977: Lotus 79 first race car using the „ground effect”. Diffuser and sliding skirts at the bottom of the car and wing-shaped side pods reduce the lifting force. Banned. 6 Historical milestones – racing cars

 1978: Brabham BT46B, „vacuum-cleaner” Response of Bernie Ecclestone to the diffuser. Niki Lauda won everything with it, but it was: Banned.  1987: active suspension in Lotus – to sustain optimal ground clearance, intelligent system. Banned….. however, in 1991 allowed again, today even in passanger cars  2009: double decker diffuser. Not straightforward. Banned.  2010: the F-duct introduced by Mclaren. Flow rate towards the rear wing can be controlled. Banned. 7 Historical milestones – racing cars

Requirements  Same motor power, the highest possible final speed: - reduction of the cross-section: almost impossible; huge exposed wheels are the major problem - reduction of Cd  High negative lift/drag ratio: large Cl or small Cd  Good maneuverability: zero or positive lift on front axle, large negative lift on rear axle – experience of driving tests  Stability: low sidewind sensitivity with vertical axis  Cooling and ventilation for motor area and driver’s comfort How? Proper design of the separate parts of the car: nose, rear section, wings, underbody, special air inlets, etc. 8

Parts of the car - nose  Pressure builds up inevitably – streamlined body  Reducing the lifting force with proper design:  Tyrrell 019: high-nosed „jet fighter” 9 - more air under the car - undisturbed flow over the wing

Parts of the car - wings  Use of wings to produce downward acting force: front, rear and the sides (side pod)  Important when installing: - placement: at front – distance from road; rear – distance from car body and wheels - angle: optimal angle to produce large negative lift; no separation - wing profile: shape, width, camber are important; slats & flaps - end-plates: reduction of wing tip vortices 10

11 Parts of the car - wings

12 Parts of the car – front wing

13 Parts of the car – rear wing

14 Parts of the car – rear wing

15 Parts of the car – rear wing

 Special shape of the underbody: ground effect by diffuser (Venturi duct) - area ratio - angle (BL separation) - flowrate  Ground effect up to 80% of total downforce  Cl = -2.6; 16kN downforce, while weight of the car is only 6.5kN – can drive on the ceiling 16 Parts of the car – underbody (chassis)

17 Parts of the car – underbody (chassis)

18 Parts of the car – underbody (chassis)

19  Not straightforward what it is: - divided diffuser - diffuser with increased flowrate - both Parts of the car – underbody; double diffuser
