Verus Front Splitter
2017+ BRZ
Details
Verus Front Splitter
Increase front end down force and reduce drag by installing this simple to bolt on aerodynamic device. The splitter is made of a durable hard plastic which can take a beating and keep on ticking. The splitter will not bend and get caught under a car like a sheet aluminum unit, and is less likely to crack than a carbon unit if impacting the ground.
The 2017+ kit comes with the support rod system automatically due to location of splitter mounting.

Design
The splitter went through many design iterations before the shape was finalized. Each analysis was done using a half-car analysis since no yaw testing was completed. This is done using symmetry down the centerline of the car. Significantly less computational processing power is necessary when using a half-car model and was the reason behind this design approach.
The meshing of the car is done using first a surface mesh and then volume mesh. To find a suitable mesh size for the analysis, a grid convergence study was done. A volume mesh count of 10 million cells was considered within the room of accuracy with the turbulence model.
Additional Information
Very few companies perform CFD or wind tunnel analysis on any of their aerodynamic pieces. As a consumer you can rest assure that you are receiving a quality component with an engineering analysis that has proven to benefit the vehicles characteristics.
