Additional simulations were performed to assess the viability and aerodynamic performance of a diffuser configuration. However, based on the CFD post-processing results, the diffuser concept was determined to be unviable for our prototype due to its limited performance benefits under our design constraints.&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Through post-processing analysis, we obtained pressure contour distributions and streamline visualizations, and accurately identified the vehicle&rsquo;s center of pressure. These results provided critical insights that supported aerodynamic optimization and significantly strengthened our technical design presentation on the FSAEB competition.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/18-02-2026-1771448253-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" \/>&nbsp;&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;<em>Img.1 : Aerodynamics Leader Working On Fluent Post-Processing<\/em>&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/18-02-2026-1771448595-FFF 1.png\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;<em>Img. 2 : Pressure Contour <\/em>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/02\/18-02-2026-1771448457-streamline.png\" alt=\"\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<em>Img3.
