Popis: In this research, aerodynamic tests were carried out using Solidworks Flow Simulation software on a Sedan-type car, implementing different sizes of lip-type spoilers at the rear to obtain the results of the drag and lift coefficients produced by movement. of the air regardless of the design at the rear of the car and analyze if there was improvement in aerodynamics. Analyzing the results, it is obtained that the aerodynamics of the car is improved when a lip-type spoiler is fitted, the lift forces were reduced, whereas the drag forces remained constant for all the different designs.
