AUTOMOTIVE

One of the sectors in which CFD analyzes are used most intensively is the automotive sector.

 

Faster, less fuel consuming, more comfortable vehicles are designed with CFD analysis.

​

In automotive applications, some of the topics that can be examined and the information to be obtained with CFD analysis are as follows:

 

• External aerodynamics

  • Aerodynamic forces and drag coefficient

• Under hood flow

  • Air speed

  • Temperature

  • Component temperatures

• In-cab comfort

  • Air speed

  • Heat

  • Heating, cooling time

  • Thermal comfort level

  • Average thermal perception

  • Active, passive zones

  • Condensation

• Exhaust

  • Air speed

  • Pressure loss (back pressure)

  • Temperature distribution

• Radiator

• Intercooler

• Fuel cells

• Batteries, accumulators

• Air filters

• Oil and fuel filters

• Hoses, pipes, air ducts

• etc.
