In the present study, the aerodynamic characteristics of a bodywork for the Formula SAE 2023 competition were analyzed. Based on the requirements of the international competition regulations and the ISO 10521 standard, a numerical evaluation procedure was defined based on a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis. A bodywork model is presented and essential aerodynamic parameters were taken into account for the definition of the flow analysis models, where the k-omega model was used in the turbulent flow analysis. Additionally, an experimental analysis assembly was prepared through a wind tunnel at the University facilities, using a model of the bodywork by 3D printing at a scale of 1:43 with thermoplastic polyurethane material. Results of pressures, flow lines around the different elements of the bodywork were found, as well as drag coefficient values from 0.42 to 0.55, the latter were compared with others obtained by other Formula SAE teams, they found similarities in the results obtained. Additionally, with the wind tunnel, the comparison of the current lines was obtained, which showed similarities in the experiment and is expected to be improved in future studies.

“…The technology performance structure of the new vehicle (alternative energy, usage range, autonomous driving level, etc./new product performance, product sales price, market share or market spread) effects directly the new product development process structure and product life cycle (product development phase number/design verification step transition approval-control analysis number). In addition, the design verification steps related to the development and testing process include backward adaptation studies for a given process size [5] [6] [7]. Environmental new technologies, innovation adaptations, developments and changes in the manufacturing industry, which are included in today's automotive industry, are gradually modeling the new product.…”

The design verification steps that take place in today's automotive industry, which constitute the values of each successive or simultaneous phase in the new product development process, create a complex structure with the inclusion of each new technology and discipline. Therefore, step by step, each design verification phase definition in the flow contains important phase transition measurements or approval tolerances that ensure the simplicity and continuity of vehicle development processes. In addition, classification of design verification stages within the framework of this study or evaluation in two classes (static and dynamic) is a new approach, but it is a synthesis with the analysis of the new product development process. The vehicle's basic structure, which constitutes the ergonomic and functional requirements of the vehicle in a static environment, takes into account the dynamic environment variables with crash or accident tests. Increasing new technology adaptations in the automotive industry have changed the new product development process that performs this function structurally and created the concept of design verification under consecutive or simultaneous process simplicity. From the autonomous driving to the use of alternative energy, possible accident scenarios and design verification phase transitions in the integration of parts and systems of the newly developed vehicle create a new structure that models and directs the lean product development process especially in the automotive industry in the coming days. In the lean product development process that takes place in the automotive industry, the design verification transition steps or the approval-control analysis of the development stages, which form a new and effective approach, are re-modeling the entire flow. Therefore, successful execution of design verification steps used in the control of new interdisciplinary product development phase transitions provides value creation. Within the scope of this study, the effectiveness of the static and How to cite this paper: Paker, F.A. (2020) The "Static" and "Dynamic" Design Verification Stages of the Lean Development

Aerodynamics has identified remarkable development in the improvement of fuel efficiency, reducing wind noise and increasing engine cooling. Moving body profile controls fuel the consumption rate. This paper discusses a novel car profile consisting of two airfoils Roncz (car profile) and National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics NACA 10 (car sides). They are used to create a streamlined body. Three-Dimensional numerical simulations of the full scale model (half domain) are performed to examine the effect of car profile on the drag coefficient and thus fuel consumption. Simulations are considered over a range of air flow velocities, from 20 to 45 km/h in a step of 5 km/h. The ahmed body is used to validate the results. Results are shown graphically for coefficients of drag and lift and pressure and velocity contours. They show that the design of the car profile is effective.
