Front Wing data

Post

Hi everybody,
I am beginning a Msc thesis based on the design of a front wing and I have to evaluate its performance using Fluent 6.
I am currently looking for data I will really appreciate if anyone could send me some references.
The most important for me at the moment is to find the airfoils coordinates of a classical two-element front wing to do it as quick as possible as I would prefer to focus on the design of the tips.

Thanks if anyone may help me.

Hi Mortelf1

I am working on a project on the similar lines only it is about the Rear wing. I am making a single element rear wing. Can u tell me how to choose a wing profile and its size? I took NACA 2412 airfoil and found some values of coordinates (station & ordinate) from some website. Are these values standard for a particular NACA airfoil?

Any help will be appreciated.

Pranav

This PDF is a thesis on F1's front wing, with some CFD simulated pics, so I hope it will help you :wink:

Can some one tell me the articles in the FIA regulations for 2009 which cover the bodywork related to the front wing. I mean the article numbers....

cheers
