Abstract The broad implication of the paper is to elucidate the significance of the
dynamic heaving motion in the aerodynamic performance of multi-element
wings, currently considered as a promising aspect for the improvement of the
aerodynamic correlation between CFD, wind tunnel and track testing in race
car applications. The relationship between the varying aerodynamic forces, the
vortex shedding, and the unsteady pressure field of a heaving double-element
wing is investigated for a range of mean ride heights, frequencies, and amplitudes,
using a two-dimensional (2D) unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes
(URANS) approach and an overset mesh method for modelling the moving wing.
