Analysis of Improvement in Aerodynamics of a Vehicle Type Baja SAE - And the Impact on Performance
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
The constant search for greater efficiency in any type of project, is one of the top searches of a professional in engineering, this being linked directly to cost reduction, performance improvement and analysis from an environmental point of view. Specifically, in Mechanical Engineering it is possible to achieve greater efficiency of a machine or equipment, just performing settings related to its operation and / or its interaction with the external environment. Aerodynamics is the science that studies the dynamics and fluid behavior, specifically the air, which causes stress on bodies through which it flows. Studies and aerodynamic analysis can be done through various tools and so it can be determined very close to the actual values for the efforts from the same (CASTEJON, 2011). Such studies are divided into two main areas: the computational, known as Computational Fluid Analysis and experimental, based in Coast Down analysis or by experiment in a wind tunnel simulation. So many studies are conducted to get the best and most desired aerodynamic performance, as will be discussed in this work. The work will be based on the prototype of a Baja-SAE vehicle Bajarara Team Hermínio Ometto University – UNIARARAS, Araras, SP, aiming a contribution to the development of the Baja project and the study of aerodynamic, more specifically in its longitudinal performance.
