The use of spoilers in automobiles is crucial to manage the drag and lift forces imparting aerodynamic resistance. To enhance the vehicle's traction and steering ability, spoilers can be placed to produce greater down force by diffusing the unfavourable air movement around the vehicle's body. This project emphasizes the need for spoilers in the automotive industry and employs software-based simulation for digital testing to analyse the design of a spoiler in a commercial vehicle. The project involves designing the spoiler using aerodynamic design parameters in SolidWorks and conducting a CFD study with necessary boundary conditions. The resulting aerodynamic findings are compared to those of the vehicle without the spoiler to analyse the differences in aerodynamic forces. The IPG Carmaker software is used to simulate various scenarios using cars with and without the spoiler and results are recorded for cornering stability, aerodynamic coefficients, lap time, and other performance indicators. This approach offers several advantages over traditional physical testing methods, which may be costly and less accessible. By using software simulations, manufacturers can reduce costs, increase testing availability, and improve testing quality. Additionally, the results obtained through simulation can provide manufacturers with an opportunity to improve the design elements of the vehicle prior to physical testing. Based on the predicted results from the simulations and calculations described in the methodology, an improvement in performance and an increase in stability of the test vehicle are expected. In summary, this project demonstrates the importance of spoilers in the automotive industry and presents an effective method for analysing and improving their design using software-based simulation.
