The Body Design and Body Flow Passage Digital Simulation Analysis of the Solar Car

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper designs the three-dimensional body modelling of a solar car prototype mainly according to the World Solar Challenge rules, and carries on the flow field digital simulation analysis. This paper analyzes the air resistance of the car body and adjusts to the body shape, and ultimately gets a model well accorded with air dynamics. This paper provides scientific theoretical basis for the design and manufacture of the solar car prototype.
