What I do as an Aerodynamicist/ADE in Formula One!

Hey! It’s me - u/NotThePewPewPew Hope you guys are doing well! To introduce myself I’m an Aerodynamics Design Engineer in a Formula One Team (I won’t be able to say the team name in writing due to some clauses in my contract). A short glimpse on what I do - I am based in the Aerodynamics development group. Me along with a few other Aeros develop concepts and I prepare it in cad. We discuss what the intended purpose of the regulations are and find loopholes to create designs. We then schedule CFD runs and analyse the results. And we send it to full scale model makers for the wind tunnel. When the wind tunnel runs are completed we receive the results and analyse what went wrong and where can we improve performance and the loop goes on and on.

Please feel free to ask any questions technical/other under this post or message me:) Good to see you all. Peace.
