Motorsport's competitive demands drive innovation, such as optimizing fuel tank performance by reducing sloshing and ensuring efficient fuel extraction. This study explores a meshless CFD approach using Moving Particle Simulation (MPS) to streamline workflows and reduce computational costs compared to traditional finite volume method (FVM) CFD.
Key findings include:
This approach provides actionable insights for enhancing racing fuel tank design, advancing precision and efficiency in motorsport engineering.

CASE STUDY
This paper presents the RENAULT F1 Team’s AM process for an aerodynamic insert in titanium Ti6Al4V. Production was optimized by identifying the best orientation for the parts and the best positioning for the support structures in the melting chamber, in addition to using the ANSYS Additive Print module, a simulation software useful for predicting the distortion of a part and for developing a new, 3D, compensated model that guarantees the best “as-built” quality.
