Abstract
Simulations analysis of the aerodynamic for a sports car modeling before and after optimization was introduced in the paper by using commercial CFD code--STAR-CCM+. In the first simulation, we got the drag coefficient, the pressure of convective and the turbulent kinetic energy spectrum，then we found the positions that may affect the drag coefficient. Further analysis inferred that our modifications accorded with the aerodynamic principles. These results can provide the basis for the modeling design and further optimization.
