The Influence of Rotating Wheels on Vehicle Aerodynamics

Abstract:

Full scaled simplified model and production vehicle were applied to make a research on the local and global flow characteristics. Two different conditions including stationary and rotation were employed in computational simulation by steady RNS Navier-Stokes calculation. Further, detailed analysis on flow, surface pressure coefficient, drag coefficient and lift coefficient affected by rotating wheel figure out that rotating wheel has a significant influence on the flow around wheel and vehicle. Pressure difference, drag coefficient and lift coefficient are decreased by rotation, which improve aerodynamic performance.
