Aerodynamic Analysis of a Drag Car Using CFD

Former F1 Aerodynamicist Tom Warren joins Car Design Workshop to analyse AJ's drag car! Get a fascinating look at the fluid dynamics and airflow over the vehicle, both with and without a spoiler. Plus, everything shown in this video, from the initial mesh cleanup to the deep-dive CFD analysis, was done using entirely free and open-source programs.
