HONG IK UNIVERSITY Webinar presentation for Emerging Market Vehicle Project July
HONG IK UNIVERSITY Agenda Overall background Improvement in CAD model & meshing Result of Force values (C D, C L ) & Shape of wake Comparison & Analysis Conclusion
HONG IK UNIVERSITY Overall Background Our EMV vehicle is a van-type exterior. - C D value for this shape is approximately 0.5 Reduce the C D value. - Not easy to reduce the frontal area of a van-type vehicle. - A hybrid vehicle needs an energy-efficient powertrain. Decrease wake. - A lower pressure zone is generated when wake is distinctly developed.
HONG IK UNIVERSITY Received EMV CAD model (March 20 th ) Checking the CAD model for running CFD, Overall Background
HONG IK UNIVERSITY Surface meshing (April 7 th ) - 2D mesh by Hyper works Volume meshing (May 4 th ) - 3D mesh by Tgrid Overall Background
HONG IK UNIVERSITY st CFD results (May 16 th ) < Pathlines colored by Particle ID > C D : (Axis : +Y) C L : (Axis : +Z) Extreme wake at the back side Overall Background

HONG IK UNIVERSITY Conclusions By attaching a small protrusion on the rear part of the roof, achieved the reduction of wake phenomena So does drag coefficient!! As a result, we could simply improve the quality of aerodynamical efficiency by not changing much the form of existing van.
