This research paper is a report of “Aerodynamics of a rear spoiler on a car in 2D using CFD
software to analyse the results”. It was only possible through the help of the course moderators including:
Lecturers, industrial CFD consultants, and in essence, all sentient beings. On the same occasion, please allow
me to dedicate my acknowledgment of gratitude towards the following significant lectures and contributors
for the research project.

First and foremost, I would like to show my gratitude and thanks to Dr. Ahad Ramezanpour for his
dedication to teach the every bits and parts of the thermodynamics and ANSYS Fluent which have been a
major use in the research project and devoting his invaluable time along with advice to hold a grip on the
report writing. He spent his class lectures to find the best possible solutions to the problems generated while
studying and helping to improve the standard of the brainstorming the solutions for the report. Not only being
a professor, he has been a great mentor & supervisor for the project with priceless feedback.

Secondly I would like to thank Dr. Habtom Mebrahtu in advising to write a research report referring IET
publications as my personal tutor at Anglia Ruskin University, Anglia Ruskin University for providing the
infrastructure and the ANSYS Laboratory for conducting the research. I would also like to extend my
gratitude to my colleague Miss Ambika Samanta for assisting and explaining the research survey, software
at times when needed.

Alongside my parents, my father Mr. Dilip Kumar Laha, Deputy Site Manager, Jacobs Engineering India
Pvt. Ltd, a Jacobs Engineering for briefing me and making me understand the investment of potential in the
world of designing and Finite Element Analysis in industrial background and my mother Mrs. Chaitali Laha
for boosting my enthusiasm while studying abroad while also funding me financially for the project.
