Description
Description
In this project, aerodynamic coefficients of a Formula One (F1) car by two different solvers of pressure based and density based has been studied. at a speed of 111 meters per second with a lateral angle of zero degrees (actually a straight path).
This velocity at the ground level is equivalent to Mach number approximately 0.32. We know this area from Mach number is the transition zone from incompressible to compressible flow, so on this geometry, the drag coefficient is investigated using two pressure-based and density-based solvers is discussed.
Since the flow characteristics also affects the upstream in the subsonic stream, the computational domain is considered big enough. Downstream, due to the vortices falling behind the geometry to achieve the appropriate residues in solving the larger computational domain, is considered.
The geometry of the solution is modeled in Design Modeler software while the elements are generated in ANSYS Meshing software. The Polyhedra elements number is 1,253,296.
F1 Aerodynamics CFD Simulation Methodology
This problem is solved in steady mode using pressure-based and density-based methods.
Also, Realizable k-epsilon model is used to model the turbulence of the flow.
Conclusion
Examining the status of the results during the iterative solution (monitoring) and the residuals reaching the convergence criterion can help decide whether the solution converges. According to the problem, the convergence process of the drag force has been studied to ensure the convergence of the problem. The non-noticeable change in the desired quantity indicates the convergence of the numerical solution.
Pressure Based Solver
Density Based
The following table shows the drag force and the number of iterations of the solution for convergence for the two modes. The forces are in Newtons.
| Drag Force (N) | Number of iterations | |
| pressure-based | -4872.6194 | 200 |
| density-based | -5542.2328 | 350 |
As shown in the table above, the drag force is almost the same for both density-based and pressure-based solvers, i.e., for this Mach and this geometry, the compressible flow CFD simulation applying Density-Based solver had a good effect on the solution results.
The difference is that convergence in the Pressure-Based solver requires fewer iterations of the solution, so it is more cost-effective in terms of time. So, the lower computational cost and the approximate accurate results in comparison with Density-Based results, make the Pressure-Based solver more appropriate for this CFD simulation.

Maegan Gaylord IV –
I’m truly impressed by the depth of the study and how both solvers were utilized. It’s fascinating to see a nearly negligible difference in drag force between the pressure-based and density-based solvers for a Mach number of 0.32. Can this analysis be extended to higher Mach numbers where flow becomes fully compressible, and would you still recommend pressure-based solvers in such cases?
MR CFD Support –
Thank you for your compliment! With regards to extending the analysis to fully compressible flow at higher Mach numbers, it’s important to note that the density-based solver would likely become the more accurate choice. The pressure-based solver is generally more suitable for incompressible or mildly compressible flows. At higher Mach numbers where compressibility effects become significant, the density-based solver is designed to capture shocks and expansions more effectively, making it the preferred method for those scenarios.
Dr. Allan Vandervort –
Is there a reason why the Pressure Based solver required fewer iterations for convergence compared to the Density Based solver in this simulation?
MR CFD Support –
The Pressure Based solver often requires fewer iterations because it is generally more robust and efficient for incompressible or mildly compressible flows, as it solves the pressure-velocity coupling equations directly. On the other hand, the Density Based solver is particularly tailored for high-speed compressible flows, where density changes significantly, such as supersonic and hypersonic regimes. In cases where the flow is approaching the transition between incompressible and compressible (such as a Mach number of 0.32 in this scenario), the Pressure Based solver can still handle the flow with fewer iterations while providing adequate accuracy, resulting in lower computational costs.

Prof. Doris Predovic –
I’m very impressed with the detailed analysis on the F1 car aerodynamics using both pressure-based and density-based solvers at such an important Mach number. Can you maintain accuracy consistently with the pressure-based solver for different car designs, or is it tailored to this specific F1 car model?
MR CFD Support –
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! The accuracy of using the pressure-based solver in CFD simulations does not solely depend on the car model itself, but rather on the overall flow regime you are analyzing. For subsonic flows, the pressure-based solver is generally preferred for its efficiency and accuracy. However, if dealing with flows where compressibility effects become significant, as with high-speed car designs at higher Mach numbers, the density-based solver might be more appropriate. Each car design induces unique aerodynamic characteristics, and convergence and accuracy will depend on ensuring proper physical modeling and boundary conditions. Rest assured, pressure-based solver methods have proven to be significantly dynamic and adapted successfully across a wide variety of car designs for aerodynamic analysis.

Tyrique Cole DVM –
The F1 simulation review was really insightful. I was wondering, why does the pressure-based solver require fewer iterations than the density-based to converge?
MR CFD Support –
In this simulation, the pressure-based solver likely requires fewer iterations because it is optimized for incompressible or mildly compressible flows, which is characteristic of many aerodynamic applications such as this F1 car at the given Mach number of 0.32. Its formulation and algorithms may converge more rapidly when density variations are not significant. On the other hand, the density-based solver, which is more suitable for highly compressible flows, may require a finer resolution of the flow features and more iterations to accurately capture the compressibility effects, resulting in the observed difference in the number of iterations for convergence.
Kadin Borer –
Could you explain which of the two methods is more suitable for race day conditions when quick decisions might be needed?
MR CFD Support –
For race day conditions where quick decisions are crucial, the Pressure-Based solver would be more suitable as it requires fewer iterations to converge, which means it can provide results faster, making it more time and computationally cost-efficient for scenarios where speed is a pivotal factor.
