Design of a FSAE cooling system
… manufactures, and tests electric formula-style racecars to compete in an annual collegiate competition. The cooling system for the Model Year 19 vehicle must provide adequate cooling to the motors and motor controllers, meet power consumption requirements dictated by the low voltage battery, and …

Wake deceleration of a racecar multielement airfoil in ground effect
The importance of aerodynamic downforce in competitive motorsports has been well established. Much of this aerodynamic downforce is produced from the inverted multielement wings at the front and the rear of the car. While such a high-lift system is capable of producing high downforce as a result of …
