Grand Prix Racecar Design Moves Up a Gear With Dual-Core Intel Itanium 2 Processors
Overview Toyota Motorsport is a relatively new, but ambitious, contender in the Formula One Championship. Toyota Motorsport wanted to increase the computational power supporting its virtual wind tunnel. This would further increase the ability of its engineers to collect and analyse data, resulting in faster and better racecar modifications. Traditionally, aerodynamic analysis has relied on expensive wind tunnels. Today however, much of the design testing and modifications are conducted virtually using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation software such as ABAQUS and CD-adapco Group's Star-CD running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. By using a virtual wind tunnel, Toyota's engineers simulate designs and driving situations to predict the behaviour of the racecar in real life conditions and to refine their design accordingly.
