Abstract

A simulation study is undertaken by using CFX 5.7.l to analyze the air flow around car's body. This study investigates the profile of air flow around a car. At the end of this study, the specific potential location of air flow in order to generate electricity could be identified. The car design was draw using Solidworks 2005 software which offers great features in order to develop the car model. The car was analyzed in the environments which have air flow velocity of 70 kilometer per hour to 110 kilometer per hour. The various velocity of air flow had been chose to make sure that the air flow profile is accurate. Among the number of turbulence models in existence, the standard K-E model is most popular and applicable to many complex flows of engineering importance. The model is computationally economical and accuracy is reasonable. A mesh of triangle was chose for the model of the car and wind tunnel. This was done to ensure that an extensive automatic grid generation of the complex geometry could occur. The simulation was then resulted that at the car's roof has the highest air flow velocity. From this finding, the device to generate electricity will be put there and the optimal quantity of energy could be produce
