Comparison Research on Aerodynamic Drags and Pressure Coefficients of Reference Car Models in Automotive Wind Tunnel

Article Preview

Abstract:

The aerodynamic drags of different reference car models were investigated to calibrate the performance of the Automotive Wind Tunnel in Jilin University. The two kinds of reference models--MIRA and SAE reference car models were involved in this paper, considering the actual situation of the Automotive Wind Tunnel in Jilin University. The results of the research show that the Automotive Wind Tunnel in Jilin University can meet the demand for automotive wind tunnel tests and it can get the same performances as other wind tunnels have and reliable test data can be obtained in it.
