TESTIMONIES
"Premier Aerodynamics allowed us to take our performance to the next level. We went all the way from a basic 3D scan of our hand-built car to making incredible aerodynamic improvements. They helped us identify areas of high drag and optimize the shape to increase overall downforce by nearly 190 kg while actually reducing aerodynamic drag by 8%. Because of these precise refinements, our custom car remained completely stable and peaked at over 207 MPH during top-speed testing." - Peter K., USA
"As a time-attack team, we were essentially flying blind with our aero balance. We bolted on a massive rear wing but suffered from terrifying high-speed understeer, and we couldn't figure out why. The flow maps clearly showed that our front splitter was completely stalling at high pitch angles under heavy braking. We were able to virtually test a half-dozen dive-plane and splitter iterations in a week before cutting a single sheet of carbon fiber. It transformed the car. We dropped two full seconds off our lap time simply because our driver finally had the aerodynamic feedback needed to trust the front end through high-speed sweepers." - Takashi N., Japan
"Our company designs aftermarket aerodynamic wheel covers and rear efficiency bodykits for daily-driven electric vehicles. We needed a way to show to our customers that our products actually work, rather than just relying on guesswork. Running our baseline vehicle through Premier Aero's CFD showed us exactly how the air was separating at the rear hatch and creating massive wake turbulence. By tweaking the trailing edge of our custom spoiler based on the pressure maps provided by the service, we gained a 6% reduction in overall drag with minimal changes to the downforce. For a commuter doing 100 miles a day, that translates to real-world battery savings and less time sitting at charging stations." - Ian S. U.K.
Automotive Aerodynamics Course
Want to get a job in the automotive industry? Get into automotive aerodynamic research? Make aerodynamic improvements to your own car? Or just want to learn more about car aerodynamics? Our automotive aerodynamic course is designed to help you achieve your dreams! Enrol here!
In it, you’ll learn from the fundamentals of car aerodynamics all the way up to complex systems of aerodynamics of cars.
It covers:
Module 1:
- The fundamental aerodynamic forces governing a car
- The aerodynamic moments on a car
- Bluff body aerodynamics versus streamline body aerodynamics, and which category a car falls into (and how that can change)
Module 2:
- How to make the front more aerodynamic
- The effects of the hood on the car’s drag and lift/downforce
- What happens at the hood and windshield junction and how to improve it
- How to design the A pillars of a car
- How the roof affects a car’s aerodynamics
Module 3
- What cooling drag is and how it affects a car’s aerodynamics
- How the underbody’s roughness affects its aerodynamics
- Designing the front lip of a car
Module 4:
- How to design a splitter plate and what happens if its designed poorly
- What front wheel deflectors do
- How the car’s ride height affects the lift and drag, and how that changes with different types of cars
- What diffusers do and how to design them
Module 5:
- How to angle the rear window to reduce the drag of a car, and its effects on the lift and downforce production
- The different types of rears
- How C pillars produce vortices, and how to mitigate them
Module 6:
- The aerodynamics of different rim designs
- How the tire affects the flow around the wheels, and the subsequent drag changes
- How the wheelhouse volume changes the car’s aerodynamics
- What air curtains are, and how to design them
- The effects of rear and top wheelhouse vents
Module 7:
- What spoilers are, how to design them, and their effects on the car’s forces
- How to design a wing, including multi-element designs
- What gurney flaps do
- Why end plates are used
Module 8:
- What canards are and why they’re used
- The different types of ducts including hood scoops, ram intakes, and NACA ducts
About the course:
This course consists of eight modules that teach you about different parts of a car’s aerodynamics. The modules can be taken at your pace. You can ask the instructor questions about the course and get answers.
At the end, you get a certificate of completion to verify your achievement.
