Does The Type R’s Rear Wing Actually Do Anything?

The Honda Civic Type R always looks great. And one of the newest features is its rear wing. BUT, how much does it affect the car's aerodynamics? And does it create good downforce for the drag penalty you get? In this video, we'll see what happens if you remove the rear wing. Using identical simulation conditions, we compare: Velocity, pressure, and streamline behavior Where lift is generated Where drag is produced Want your own car simulated? I also offer custom CFD simulations for vehicles and aerodynamic concepts. 👉 https://premieraerodynamics.com/Simul... Want to learn how to do simulations like this? These simulations were run using OpenFOAM. If you want to learn the fundamentals of OpenFOAM — and how to apply them to real engineering problems — check out my course here: 👉 https://premieraerodynamics.com/Courses/ Want to understand vehicle aerodynamics properly? I also teach: Automotive Aerodynamics — understand lift, drag, and wake behavior RC Aircraft Design — applied aerodynamics from the ground up 👉 https://premieraerodynamics.com/Autom... 👉 https://premieraerodynamics.com/RC-Ai...
