Competition Car Aerodynamics, 3rd Edition
Competition Car Aerodynamics, 3rd Edition by Simon McBeath, published by Veloce Publishing on March 17, 2017, is a comprehensive exploration of motorsport aerodynamics. This edition continues the practical, hands-on approach of its predecessors, delving into the significant impact of aerodynamics on performance enhancement over the past 50 years. With a focus on both theoretical and practical aspects, the book incorporates advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques and insights from the MIRA full-scale wind tunnel in the UK.
Readers will find a wealth of information presented through photographs, graphs, and CFD-generated images, which clarify how aerodynamic performance benefits are achieved in real-world applications. The book includes case studies from various motorsport categories, such as Formula 1, sports prototypes, and club single seaters, making it suitable for designers, competitors, students, and enthusiasts alike. With 320 pages of detailed content, this edition serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the role of aerodynamics in enhancing the performance of competition cars.
Official synopsis Publisher
The field of aerodynamics has had an increasingly significant effect on performance enhancement over the past 50 years. Competition Car Aerodynamics 3rd Edition continues the practical, hands-on approach of its popular predecessors to cover all aspects of motorsport aerodynamics, with more CFD and wind tunnel project material and case studies.
Author Simon McBeath tackles aerodynamic theory in a comprehensive, yet comprehensible, way with his unprecedented access to state of the art computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques. McBeath also explores aerodynamics with the MIRA full-scale wind tunnel in the UK.
Photographs, graphs, CFD-generated images, and wind tunnel data–much of which has appeared in the successful Aerobytes series in Racecar Engineering–are used to explain with unrivaled clarity how aerodynamic performance benefits are obtained in practice.
With case studies from Formula 1, sports prototypes, Formula 3, GT and saloon cars, club single seaters, and karts, this book will appeal to anyone, whether a designer, competitor, student, or armchair enthusiast, wishing to gain an understanding of aerodynamics, and how it can benefit the performance of all types of competition cars.
