Optimización de los BodyWorks de un kart KF4 implementando estudios CFD

Abstract

The thesis project aims to improve kart performance in national competitions through the aerodynamic optimization of their components. In Ecuador, a lack of research in this field has been identified, which is crucial for improving competitive karting. Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies, the project optimizes the BodyWorks of the karts, enhancing their aerodynamic load and track performance. The results show that these optimizations reduce drag and increase speed and stability on the track.
