Case Study: PERRINN 424 achieves improved aerodynamics and safety with Bramble CFD

Perrinn 424 - Customer Case Study

Perrinn 424, a team building the world's fastest open-source electric racing car, faced the challenge of improving their vehicle's aerodynamics and checking its safety without access to a physical wind tunnel. They turned to vendor Bramble CFD and its CFD simulation service to solve this problem.

Bramble CFD first ran a specialized analysis to assess the car's safety in a take-off scenario. After confirming the car would not flip aggressively, Bramble CFD's solution then helped Perrinn 424 design and test new curved diffuser strakes. This process resulted in a 5% gain in aerodynamic efficiency and allowed the team to analyze many more designs virtually, saving huge amounts of time and money by eliminating the need for physical prototypes.
