Simulation Research on Aerodynamic Characteristics of Vehicle under Steady Crosswind Based on XFlow

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aerodynamic characteristics of vehicle play a crucial role in steering stability, comfort and safety of vehicle. The crosswind will affect the aerodynamic characteristics of vehicle. In this paper, the aerodynamic characteristics of ASMO model under steady crosswind is simulated by XFlow software, and the changes of aerodynamic characteristics under different steady crosswind are analyzed. It turned out that the asymmetry of wake flow field is enhanced with the increasing of crosswind, and the body surface pressure of windward is amplified, the six components of aerodynamic coefficient are also increased. It is found that the vehicle aerodynamic characteristics changed obviously under steady crosswind.
