"Tokai University The SolarCar Team at the Tokai University - TopicsExpress



          

"Tokai University The SolarCar Team at the Tokai University Student Project Center (Kanagawa, Japan) has to be considered one of the premier student-led solar car design teams in the world after winning back to back World Solar Challenge races (2009 and 2011) in Australia. A critical aspect of successful vehicle design is minimizing aerodynamical drag since one major goal is to achieve high speeds while using minimal energy. The Tokai student-led team used Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations to optimize the vehicle geometry. In particular they used Software Cradle SC/Tetra CFD Software for the simulations. Following are highlights from an interview with the Tokai team that discussed the educational advantages and usability of SC/Tetra in this challenging environment." Most interesting... I was once told there was no need to do this by someone...
