About this project

I am currently carrying out my end of university project, which consists on a detailed study on how aerodynamics affect in cycling. To achieve it, I am looking for a 3D Computer Fluid Dynamics program that helps me simulate the shape of a cyclist on a bike in different positions so as to compare the aerodynamic coefficient in each condition. After this, I will apply the results on a real-life practical part of the project. The conditions mentioned above will be transferred in a bike in order to take a downhill ride and compare the results with the simulation. After this, further research will be carried out and I will find a relationship between the aerodynamic coefficient and the time taken to complete the ride.
