Abstract
The growing demand for sustainable and energy-efficient transportation systems has led to significant advancements in electric
vehicle technology. This research aims to study the design and aerodynamic analysis of an electric go-kart with the intention of
improving its efficiency. This project involves the development of a lightweight go-kart chassis with an electric drive system,
including a battery, motor, and control unit.
The 3D model of the electric go-kart was created using CAD software, incorporating basic aerodynamic features such as a
streamlined nose and minimized frontal area. An ANSYS Fluent analysis was conducted using the ANSYS Fluent software to
simulate the airflow pattern for the electric go-kart. Important parameters, such as velocity distribution, pressure contours, drag
force, and drag coefficient, were analyzed under various conditions.
The analysis revealed that aerodynamic drag has a substantial impact on the go-kart's efficiency, particularly at high speeds.
As a result of these findings, the modifications made in the design have shown significant improvements in the airflow pattern,
reducing turbulence and drag force. This has resulted in a significant reduction in the drag coefficient of the electric go-kart
compared to its initial model, thus improving its energy efficiency.
