Study of sports car aerodynamics using computer simulation methods

Problem. The results of the value of the coefficient of aerodynamic resistance of a sports car and the calculations of the frontal area of ​​its three-dimensional model are given. Goal. The goal is determination of the coefficient of aerodynamic resistance for a sports car by means of a computer experiment and justification of the feasibility of using attached parts to improve aerodynamics. Methodology. The method of computer experiment and three-dimensional modeling was used based on a comparison with the geometric and technical characteristics of a real car The results The accuracy of the construction of the three-dimensional model and virtual experiment was confirmed based on the obtained values of the frontal area and the coefficient of aerodynamic resistance.
