Abstract
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Wheel drag is generally known to be proportional to the wheel opening area. However, predicting wheel drag through opening area is still very difficult and inaccurate because there are many other factors that affect wheel drag. To more accurately and effectively predict wheel drag in the early styling design stage, we introduced the wheel average depth (WAD) parameter and developed S/W to calculate WAD. As a result of analyzing the correlation between WAD and wheel drag for HKMC's mass-produced wheels, the R2 value was greatly improved compared to the correlation between the existing wheel opening area and wheel drag, and the prediction accuracy was doubled.</div></div>
