Synopsis

This paper examines issues associated with the CFD modelling of a complete racing car in comparison with physical testing. In particular, the issue of how a CFD analysis may be invalid, simply because it does not replicate the set-up of the physical test sufficiently, is examined. Convergence options are also discussed.
