  • CFD and Wind Tunnel Determination of Rear Wing Slot Gaps for 2014 Formula SAE Racecar

    Creator:
    Peterson, Curtis J.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this project is to examine the effect of the slot gap spacing on a multi element rear wing. A three element rear wing is used in order to produce maximum downforce at the relatively low speed of Formula SAE competitions. These high lift configurations serve to increase...

  • Autonomous Controls System for Global Formula Racing

    Creator:
    Bishnu, Deven A.
    Abstract:
    This project focuses on implementing a model predictive control (MPC) algorithm as a pathfinding algorithm for navigating tracks with the Oregon State University Global Formula Racing (GFR) team's driverless car. The new algorithm would use an optimization function to calculate the least-cost path for the car to take by assigning...

  • The Design, Manufacturing, and Testing of an Undertray for Formula SAE

    Creator:
    Dang, Victor Q.
    Abstract:
    A student-built lap time simulation coupled with the scoring model of the Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Series has revealed the major importance of downforce on overall points. As a result, the Global Formula Racing (GFR) team has recently focused much effort towards the development of an aerodynamics package...
