Research on Aerodynamic Characteristics of a Simplified SUV Model

Abstract:

The aerodynamics characteristics of square Mira model were researched by simulation, the drag coefficient and the aerodynamic characteristics around model were achieved with analysis of velocity and pressure distribution. Based on results, the angle of rear wind window, the angle of underbody diffuser and the front transition radius were changed, the drag and lift coefficients were achieved. The conclusions provide reference for how to reduce drag coefficient of SUV
