Aerodynamic Analysis Estimation of aerodynamic performance Constant Speed Downforce Math Channels from constant speed and coast down testing The vertical load on the front wheels is measured via wheel force transducers. The front downforce is therefore the sum of the front wheel force transducer Introduction measurements minus the static vehicle corner weights. This report will focus on the aerodynamic performance There is an additional offset due to the weight of the of the vehicle using data collected from a combination tyre and rim which is measured on the corner scales of constant speed and coast down runs. but not by the wheel force transducers. Note this is not a true downforce value as it includes the vertical Test Summary load due to the pitching moment caused by the drag Three constant speed runs were performed at 100, force. 150 and 200km/h. These were then repeated in the opposite direction on the track for a total of 6 constant Front_Downforce = (WFT _FL _Fz + WFT _FR _Fz) speed runs. + WFT _Offset — Initial _Fz _FR Several low speed coast down tests were performed — Initial _Fz _FL to calculate rolling resistance and a high speed coast down test to measure aerodynamic drag. The vertical load on the rear wheels
