THE School of Engineering Sciences at the University of Southampton invites applications for its one-year full time MSc course in Race Car Aerodynamics. Session begins in this October.
University: University of Southampton
Department: School of Engineering Sciences
Programme: MSc in Race Car Aerodynamics
Duration: 1 year (full-time)
Total no. of seats: 8
Programme highlights:
- Race Car Aerodynamics is the most sought after qualification in motorsport.
- Couse focuses on analysis computation and measurement of turbulent flows associated with high-performance race cars.
- MSc is based on the extensive ground-effect aerodynamics research.
- Research provides benchmark understanding of wing, diffuser and wheel aerodynamics.
- Students work in teams to design a whole race car with computational fluid dynamics, and perform wind tunnel lab classes on an F1 car and projects with industry.
Course module:
Applications of CFD; experimental techniques for aerodynamics; geometry and grid generation; numerical methods; race car aerodynamics; race car design/GDP; turbulence I: physics and measurement, and turbulence II: computation and modelling. The course also offers two optional modules chosen from applied aerodynamics or fluids and waves; flow control, or wing aerodynamics.
Fee: £13,900 (for international students)
Eligibility:
- Candidates wishing to enroll on the course should have an Honours degree in Engineering, mathematics or a science-based subject.
- Those with employment experience will also be considered
