Abstract

This project focused on the concept of bio-mimicry into design specifically ways drag reduction can be achieved. Basic aerodynamics and turbulence modelling theory was studied to strenghten knowledge. Turbulence models were studied to select an appropriate configuration. Basic models were designed using 3D CAD modelling software.
