Sports car rear wing numerical optimization
Feldová, Petra ; Rudolf, Pavel (referee) ; Štefan, David (advisor)
This master’s thesis is focused on optimization of rear wing of sport car by using open-source software. The optimization of 2D profile of the rear wing is present in this thesis. Python environment was chosen for optimization and evolutionary algorithm was is used as optimization function. This algorithm is further connected to Xfoil software, which is computing aerodynamic characteristic. The ratio of the lift and drag coefficients (C_L/C_D) is chosen as parameter which considers the aerodynamic efficiency. The CFD computation of flowing around the whole car is provided in open-source software OpenFOAM. . The profile optimization results to approximately 7.9 % raise of the parameter C_L/C_D, in the same wing stability. The main benefit of this work is to use open-source software for the optimization and CFD analysis, which in future might save company’s resources by not buying expensive commercial software licenses.

Analysis of rear wing elements for Formula student
Kaspar, Štěpán ; Hájek, Tomáš (referee) ; Popela, Robert (advisor)
Main objective of this bachelor thesis is to perform analysis of rear wing of the Formula student car and based on these information create design of new wing. The beginning of the thesis deals with Formula student competition rules, usage of rear wing in motorsport with main aim within this competition. Analysis and following optimization based on response surface methodology using CFD simulations in Ansys Fluent software, for which was performed calibration of computational model and mesh independence study.
