Aerodynamics Optimization of the Univeniti Teknologi PETRONAS 'PERODUA Eco-ChaUenge 2011' Car

This is the construction and report on the experimentation of a shape-optimization
method applied to aerodynamic design of a car. The scopes of study areas are in
research, designing and analysis in computational fluid dynamics tool. The
significance of this research would be important to evaluate the condition of the final
model that posses the best drag coefficient This research starts by searching for any
other relevant journal or article published by other researches and from there, the
design would be review and useful information will be summarize and taken as an
information to this research. From the data available from the model, the drag
coefficient will be calculated manually and also by using software.
CATIA v5, GAMBIT v2.2.30 and FLUENT v6.3.26 software are then used to design
analyze the air flow behavior. The result from the computational fluid dynamics
software will be compare with the result from wind tunnel experiment.
