Abstract

In this project, simulation of air flow around vehicles frontal area which includes vehicle front hood and windscreen will be carrying out. The models that will be chosen for this research are the national car models. ANSYS Fluent software will be use to run the simulation. k-ε turbulent model is used to calculate air flow around the vehicle model and make a comparison between all models at vehicle speed 25m/s (90km/h). The main objective of the study is to study air flow around a vehicle frontal area and to obtain the air flow pattern around a vehicle frontal area. Several factors that influence the air flow pattern such as flow separation, the effect of pressure coefficient (Cp) and types of turbulent will be study. Detail velocity variation and pressure distribution plots around the vehicle envelopes will be present. At the end of the research, it is expected that the air flow pattern around a vehicle frontal area which includes vehicle front hood and windscreen can be obtained.
