Abstract
People are concerned about fuel consumption and green technology. In automotive industry, one of the alternative solution to improve fuel consumption is by minimizing the electrical load from the alternator. It can be realized by harvesting the energy from the wind force. The wind force is related to the air flow on the vehicle surface. Hence, a study on the aerodynamic drag has been performed. This research start with design the shape of Proton Perdana V6 model using CFD software. Then, the drawing model will be simulate in CFD software to determine the wind flow on the front bumper of this vehicle. After completing the simulation, the results obtained will be used to determine the area to install the wind turbine. Therefore it is able to trap the air flowing around the front bumper to turn the blades, thus it will gain the energy. When the turbine has been mounted, the vehicle will be tested to determine the maximum current can be generated based on different speed.
