Tasks:

• Creating Simulation Models (Importing the CAD geometry, creating meshes etc.).
• Running CFD simulations and analyzing velocity and pressure fields to optimize aerodynamic performance.
• Presenting simulation findings through flow visualizations, performance metrics, and technical reports.
• As a part of the Aerodynamic Team you are also expected to help with the production of the Aerodynamic Work Packages (That includes working with Carbon Fibre).

Profile:

• Interest (or knowledge) in CFD software (e.g. StarCCM+).
• Understanding of basic concepts in Vehicle Dynamics and Fluid Mechanics.

What awaits you:

As a CFD Engineer, you play a critical role in analyzing and optimizing the aerodynamic performance of our car using computational fluid dynamics. Your work focuses on understanding how air flows around the vehicle and how aerodynamic forces influence its performance on track. By setting up and running simulations, you evaluate airflow patterns, pressure distributions, and velocity fields to identify areas where the design can be improved.

You work closely with the design and CAD teams to study different aerodynamic concepts and refine components such as wings, diffusers, and bodywork. Through careful analysis of simulation results, you help increase downforce, reduce drag, and improve the overall aerodynamic efficiency of the vehicle. In addition, you ensure that simulation models are accurate by applying appropriate boundary conditions, meshing strategies, and turbulence models.

Your findings are communicated through visualizations, data analysis, and technical reports, helping guide design decisions and supporting the development of a high-performance race car that is competitive on the track.

Time expenditure: At least 10 hours per Week

What We Expect in Addition

Beyond technical competence, we place great value on personal commitment and the ability to work effectively within a team. Formula Student is a performance-driven development project that only succeeds through reliability and personal responsibility.

We expect:

• Reliability and adherence to agreements
• Independent and structured working style
• Clear and respectful communication within the team
• Willingness to actively participate in meetings and test days
• Thorough documentation of one’s own work
• Long-term commitment throughout the entire season

We are not looking for passive participants, but for team members who take ownership and actively contribute to the performance of our vehicle.
