Three-Dimensional Simulation of New Car Profile

Abstract

Aerodynamics has identified remarkable development in the improvement of fuel efficiency, reducing wind noise and increasing engine cooling. Moving body profile controls fuel the consumption rate. This paper discusses a novel car profile consisting of two airfoils Roncz (car profile) and National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics NACA 10 (car sides). They are used to create a streamlined body. Three-Dimensional numerical simulations of the full scale model (half domain) are performed to examine the effect of car profile on the drag coefficient and thus fuel consumption. Simulations are considered over a range of air flow velocities, from 20 to 45 km/h in a step of 5 km/h. The ahmed body is used to validate the results. Results are shown graphically for coefficients of drag and lift and pressure and velocity contours. They show that the design of the car profile is effective.
