Flow Visualization of Two Ford Fusion NASCAR Sprint Cup Cars
TotalSim computed this flow visualization of two Ford Fusion NASCAR Sprint Cup cars. This transient solution was run to evaluate the effect of two-car drafting using OpenFOAM & rendered using the Blender software.

Flow Visualization of Cyclists Drafting in a Peloton
Jump into this TotalSim production to learn how cyclists draft off one another in a peloton to reduce aerodynamic drag and the energy required to maintain competitive speed. This simulation was created so cyclists can better conceptualize the wakes, airflow and drag within a peloton.
Simulation of NASCAR Airflow
Watch this simulation to learn about the airflow around a NASCAR vehicle. NASCAR R&D used TotalSim's HPC solutions at Ohio State Supercomputer Center (OSC) to model the aerodynamic performance of track vehicles. This simulation illustrates some of the work that TotalSim completed in assisting NASCAR R&D model aerodynamic performance.
Leveraging OSSCC for NASCAR Modeling
Learn about how TotalSim used the Ohio State Super Computer Center to model the aerodynamic performance of NASCAR vehicles. TotalSim and Ohio State Super Computer Center have a long relationship of working together. When NASCAR came to TotalSim, the OSSCC was helpful in the modeling process.
