Tutorial: External Aerodynamics Around a Sports Car

In this tutorial, we study the external flow aerodynamics around a sports car. The analysis model consists of the wind tunnel (air volume) with the car cut from it:

Here is the car:

Note that the car is not actually included in the model except as a cutout from the wind tunnel part.

Air flowing at 80 mph flows over the car in the wind tunnel. We cut the model half and used symmetry to reduce the overall analysis size.
