Ground effect in motorsport
Mlčoch, Pavel ; Hejtmánek, Petr (referee) ; Čavoj, Ondřej (advisor)
This bachelor thesis describes ground effect, its influence on car aerodynamics and its use in motorsport. The thesis describes the dependence of downforce created by ground effect on the design and set-up of the race car, as well as on the downforce generating parts' relative movement in relation to the track during a race. Advantages and disadvantages of the use of ground effect aerodynamics are discussed as well. Next, there is brief summary of the use of ground effect throughout the history of motorsport. At the end, attention is paid to modern race and sport cars using the ground effect aerodynamics.

Aerodynamic forces and kinematic properties measured on a fluttering profile
Chládek, Štěpán ; Zolotarev, Igor
The paper describes a possible way of measuring of the kinematic properties and the aerodynamic forces acting on a fluttering profile. The kinematic properties can be measured both using the acceleration and the instant position sensors, both approaches are compared. The aerodynamic forces are not measured directly; their evaluation is based on the static stiffness and the dynamic compliance.
