1. Introduction Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is an essential tool for the design of racing cars. It is used for designing external aerodynamics but also for evaluating the performance of internal components, such as radiators. The CFD design practice typically comprises four phases: (i) geometry pre-processing; (ii) generation of the computational grid; (iii) numerical simulation; (iv) results visualization and analysis, i.e., post-processing.
