Downforce variation dependence of angle of incidence modification for the rear wing of high speed vehicles
Last modified: 2017-09-02
Abstract
The conventional downforce devices (with fixed geometry) of high speed vehicles have parameters such as area, angle of incidence and head resistance coefficients, all with constant values. The downforce is proportional with the square of movement speed and the power consumed for the neutralization of aerodynamic road resistance is proportional with the cube of speed. The authors carried out an analytical study of downforce, adjustable/monitored by optimum incidence (modification of incidence angle of rear wing for performance improvement).
