Ansys (part of Synopsys) is excited to announce the Simulation Challenge as part of the Special Awards category at Formula Bharat 2026.
The objective of the challenge is to simulate and optimize the aerodynamic performance of a Formula car using Ansys Fluent, with the goal of reducing drag. The project will analyze airflow behavior around key components such as the front wing, rear wing, and car nose.
The Challenge:
Teams are required to evaluate the following key aerodynamic parameters:
- Drag coefficient (Cd)
- Pressure and velocity distribution
- Flow separation zones and wake effects
Additionally, teams must work to optimize aerodynamic components such as the front and rear wing profiles, front nose, etc.
The award will be presented to the winning team at the Formula Bharat 2026 Award Ceremony.
Each team must submit their report via the upload portal listed on the Resources page by January 10, 2026, 11:30 p.m. IST.
