So when it comes to modeling its virtual vehicles’ aerodynamic behavior, it’s not as if iRacing can repair to the nearest wind tunnel. Enter TotalSim, a world leader in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) – the use of numerical analysis and algorithms to analyze the interaction of liquids and gases (air, in the case of race cars) on the boundaries of hard surfaces (race car bodies, wings, wheels, etc). Having partnered with the Ohio-based engineering firm since 2011, iRacing recently renewed its agreement with TotalSim in order to enhance its use of CFD to obtain the most accurate aerodynamic numbers for use in the iRacing vehicle aero model.

iRacing rinnova la partnership con TotalSim
VELOCIPEDE posted a topic in iRacing Motorsport Simulations
Il team di iRacing ha rinnovato la partnership tecnica con la TotalSim, azienda americana specializzata nella fluidodinamica computazionale o numerica (brevemente detta CFD, Computational Fluid Dynamics in inglese), che fornisce al simulatore americano dati importantissimi per la realizzazione della corretta fisica e dinamica delle vetture nel software. Molto interessante è l'articolo completo pubblicato a questo link. Thanks to the meticulous work of the simulation industry’s leading artists and vehicle dynamicists, the 50+ digital race cars available on iRacing.com look, drive and race like their real world counterparts. The key word there is “digital.” For, when all is said and done, iRacing’s stock, sports and open wheel cars are constructed of advanced mathematics and physics calculations rather than physical parts. There isn’t a real bolt, A-arm or wing to be found. So when it comes to modeling its virtual vehicles’ aerodynamic behavior, it’s not as if iRacing can repair to the nearest wind tunnel.
