  • Midnight Sun PDF Library: Always a useful place to go. There’s resources for many different aspects of vehicle engineering, with some that are specific to solar cars.

  • The Leading Edge: There’s a paper copy in the bay. Very helpful for understanding solar car aerodynamics, although it is focused on challenger class vehicles.

  • Fluid Mechanics 101: A YouTube channel with highly detailed videos on specific topics in computational fluid dynamics. Great resource if you want to learn more about a specific topic, like a certain algorithm or turbulence model.

  • SimScale: There’s also several resources provided by SimScale. They have a wiki section and webinars for simulation theory, forums where people discuss issues they encountered during simulations, pretty good documentation to explain how to use their product, and you can also look at example projects to learn how other people handled certain simulation problems directly in SimScale.

  • LEAP Australia: A blog that has some useful articles. I mostly looked at their boundary layer articles.

  • CFD-Online: I haven’t looked through this site very thoroughly, but I did use it to learn about estimating initial conditions.
