Guest Blog: Eco-Runner Team Delft Using Rescale to Design a Fuel Efficient Vehicle
Blog post from Rescale
Eco-Runner Team Delft, a multi-disciplinary student team from Delft University of Technology, focuses on designing and building highly efficient hydrogen-powered vehicles, with their efforts supported by advanced computational tools like Rescale's cloud simulation platform. The team has been refining fuel-efficient cars for over a decade, emphasizing low resistance and aerodynamic efficiency, crucially aided by Rescale's capabilities in minimizing drag resistance through comprehensive simulations. By leveraging XFlow software for boundary layer analysis and 3D pressure distribution studies, they assessed the impact of side winds and utilized a cost-effective Nickel hardware configuration to enhance model fidelity. This approach enabled detailed concept comparisons and a significant iteration in their design process, ultimately optimizing the vehicle's efficiency before implementation. Known for their participation in the Shell Eco-Marathon, the team achieved a notable victory in 2015, demonstrating their commitment to innovation in hydrogen vehicle technology.
