BLUEPRINT
Prelims: Each team will be given a model of 3D object. They will have to do certain
modifications and perform flow analysis to reduce the Drag coefficient value.
Finals: Each selected team will be given a rough model of a car. They will have to do certain
modifications and perform flow analysis to reduce the Drag coefficient value.
JUDGING CRITERIA
Depending upon the maximum difference in the initial and final values of Drag coefficient.
TIME DUARTION
Prelims: 1 hour
Finals: 3 hours
NOTE
Drag coefficient is a common measure in automotive design as it pertains to aerodynamics.
Drag is a force that acts parallel and in the same direction as the airflow. The drag coefficient of
automobile impacts the way the automobile passes through the surrounding air. The reduction
of drag in road vehicles has led to increases in the top speed of the vehicle and the vehicle's
fuel efficiency, as well as many other performance characteristics, such as handling and
acceleration. Lowering the drag coefficient comes from streamlining the exterior body of the
vehicle. When automobile companies design a new vehicle they take into consideration the
automobile drag coefficient in addition to the other performance characteristics.
