CFD & Wind Tunnel Testing in High-Performance Engineering - Adrian Villar Collazo | Podcast #150
Manage episode 498074954 series 3245084
CFD and wind tunnel testing are the backbone of high-performance engineering — but how do they complement each other, and what are the biggest challenges engineers face?In this episode, we sit down with Adrian Villar Collazo, Managing Director at VFluid Advanced Technologies and CTO at Deflect Inc, to explore the aerodynamic simulations, motorsports engineering, and real-world CFD applications. With experience in Formula 1, automotive design, and regulatory consulting for the FIA, Adrian shares insider insights on how precision engineering, data-driven simulations, and experimental validation push performance to the limits.We discuss why wind tunnel testing is still essential despite advances in CFD, how motorsports innovation drives improvements in road car aerodynamics, and what engineers need to consider when optimizing race car performance. Adrian also breaks down common CFD workflow bottlenecks, the challenges of regulation and homologation in competitive motorsports, and how teams can leverage simulation-driven design to gain an edge.
