Abstract

Increasing environmental awareness has led to changes in motorsport regulations that limit the quantity of traditional and computationally intensive optimizations that can be used and encourages the use of numerical methods to improve the vehicles. This article describes a new method of aerodynamic design, the result of a collaboration between Dallara Automobili and RBF Morph, that uses adjoint methods and mesh morphing to create an innovative solution to accelerate the optimization process, reducing both time and costs.
