Riassunto

When Aston Martin debuted the DB11 at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show journalistic, reporters, engineers and car enthusiasts were fascinated by Aston Martin’s new patented aerodynamic device, which Aston Martin calls the ‘Aeroblade’. The Aeroblade on the Aston Martin DB11 is to replace the use of a conventional spoiler to keep a clean, sharp design to the car, while still providing downforce and rear stability. This study investigates and evaluates the performance and efficiency of the Aeroblade when compared to a traditional spoiler. Tests within flow simulation software providing results for drag and downforce will aid towards the conclusion of whether the performance and efficiency of the Aeroblade is greater than a spoiler. The study will also evaluate the addition of crosswind effects upon the Aeroblade, showing side force, drag and downforce results when a yaw angle is applied to the vehicle being tested. With the use of Solidworks variations of the DB11 are recreated to gain aerodynamic figures upon each aerodynamic element. Cornering aerodynamics are also analysed and compared between each vehicle variation, allowing the results to be evaluated, in turn aiding with the conclusion of the study. By the end of the study, all results achieved throughout the study are evaluated, analysed and compared to come to a decision.
