CFD

CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) is a computer simulation technique used in motorsport to predict and analyze how air flows around vehicles.

Engineers use CFD to virtually test how different car designs interact with air, helping them optimize shapes for maximum downforce, reduced drag, and better overall performance. This technology acts like a digital wind tunnel, showing teams exactly how air moves across every surface of their race car.

In Formula 1 and other racing series, CFD has become essential for developing competitive vehicles. Teams can test numerous design concepts without building physical prototypes, saving time and money while improving performance through better aerodynamics.
