Not only were CFD sims cheaper than wind tunnel time, but they were also much faster at iterating. Early design work is now done in silico before being validated with scale models in a wind tunnel, as ...

CFD, or Computational Fluid Dynamics, is the use of computer simulations to predict how fluids like air or coolant move around and through objects. In car design, "fluid" mostly means airflow. It's ...

The aid of computers in automobile design has improved performance by allowing for experimentation with unconventional designs and processes that previously seemed impossible. Manufacturers and ...

The organisation partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to carry out simulations that it says has resulted in the car design for the 2021 racing season. The CFD project used over 1,150 compute cores ...
