Competition Car Aerodynamics: A Practical Handbook

Aerodynamics is a science in itself, and is one of the most important factors in modern competition car design. This new book, a successor to "Competition Car Downforce", covers all aspects of aerodynamics, including both downforce and drag. This complex subject is explained in down-to-earth terms, with the aid of numerous illustrations, including color CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) diagrams to demonstrate how aerodynamic devices work. Aimed primarily at amateur and semi-professional designers and drivers, as well as students, this fascinating book will also appeal to armchair enthusiasts wishing to gain a better understanding of the subject.  Presented with a DVD providing examples of the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), produced in association with Advantage CFD – owned by and aerodynamic consultants.
