About this document
Go Kart Aerodynamics and Drag Analysis by Fardeen Pathan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document evaluates the aerodynamic drag of a go kart through coast down testing and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis. CFD analysis of the go kart model was performed to determine drag force distributions on components at various speeds. Coast down tests with a data logger were also conducted to estimate actual drag coefficients from acceleration data. CFD results showed that at 90 km/h, the overall drag coefficient was 0.804, with about 33% of drag caused by the exposed driver position and 2
