Theory
The theoretical foundations behind my work, drawn from my Master's thesis. Four chapters, read in order or on their own.
-
1. On aerodynamics
Aerodynamic forces, lift and drag generation, and wings in motorsport.
-
2. On CFD
Navier–Stokes and RANS, turbulence models, wall treatment and discretisation.
-
3. On wind tunnels
Dynamic similarity, blockage, wall interference and boundary-layer tripping.
-
4. On DOE and optimization
Sampling, surrogate models, Bayesian optimization and genetic algorithms.
