Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the coefficient drag, CD of the Proton PREVẾ by experimental method using Low Speed Wind Tunnel. All the relevant data are collected through the literature reviews from books and journals. First, the basic thing in aerodynamic is studied. There are two things are concern when studies aerodynamics. They were air flow and vehicle shape which we regard as aerodynamics factor that determine aerodynamic of the vehicle. Fundamental of air flow and vehicle shape is reviewed includes the relationship between air speed with pressure, boundary layer, Reynolds number, drag, lift drag and shape optimization. Wind tunnel is also studied before the experiment. Five selected speed were been tasted during the experiment to determine the CD value.

Highlights

Aerodynamic is a studying the motion of air, when it interacts with a solid object such as vehicles, airplane and human [1]
As we compare to America car design, they more aerodynamic shapes like Ferrari, Lamborghini and BMW
The experiment has been conducted at Subsonic Plint & Partners Ltd wind tunnel, Aero-lab Universiti Teknologi Malaysia

Summary

Introduction

Aerodynamic is a studying the motion of air, when it interacts with a solid object such as vehicles, airplane and human [1]. Lift and drag forces are arguably the two most important performance measures studied in aerodynamics [2,3]. It is noted that the important design the shape of vehicles into aerodynamic shape is to reduce the air friction in motion [4,5]. As we compare to America car design, they more aerodynamic shapes like Ferrari, Lamborghini and BMW. Malaysia car design is quiet aerodynamic shape as comparable to overseas car. Aerodynamics force is important because it have great affected both vehicles stability and cost operation. The scale will be 1:15 to the real dimension of Proton PREVE
