摘要：In motorsport car racing, there are various aspects of the car that determines how fast it can go aroundthe race track. One such aspect is the aerodynamics of the car. The aerodynamics of the race car is largely influencedby aerodynamic devices such as front wings, rear wings and undertrays amongst others. These devices generateconsiderably increased downforce on the car, which improves the cornering speeds of the race car, which in turnimproves lap timings. This paper focuses on incorporating front and rear wings to a Formula SAE car and comparisonof aerodynamic performance of the car with and without the front and rear wings through commercial ComputationalFluid Dynamic software. The Selig s1223 aerofoil profile was chosen for the design of the front and rear wings with atwo-element set up for both. The 3D CFD analysis of the FSAE car was performed without the wings followed by theanalysis of the FSAE car with the wings using Solid Works Flow Simulation 2014 package. The results showed theFSAE car with the wings had a better aerodynamic performance than the car without the wings.
