Open-wheel aerodynamics
Babinec, Viktor ; Vančura, Jan (referee) ; Čavoj, Ondřej (advisor)
This bachelors thesis is focused on review of the aerodynamic charakteristics of the rotating wheels for formula cars. This paper describes the nature, origin and development of flow structures in the wheel area, affecting other parts of the vehicle. To create a holistic view of the aerodynamic charakteristics of the wheel, it is necesary to include impacts on changing wheel geometry while driving, which significantly changes the nature of the flow. Among the observed effects include deformation of the wheel, its camber, yaw and axle height.
