Abstract
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has emerged as an indispensable tool in automotive design, significantly enhancing vehicle performance through aerodynamic optimization. This paper offers a comprehensive exploration of the application of CFD modeling techniques in refining automotive streamline designs, with the overarching goal of mitigating aerodynamic drag and amplifying vehicle efficiency. To contextualize the discussion, the author commences with a historical overview of fluid dynamics, segueing into a detailed exposition of core CFD algorithms, numerical methodologies, and advanced modeling approaches encompassing boundary layer dynamics, turbulence modeling, meshing strategies, and coupling techniques. Through illustrative case studies, the author elucidates the transformative impact of CFD in streamlining the design process and achieving tangible drag reduction outcomes. The discourse extends to the implications of CFD on fuel economy, vehicular speed, stability, and holistic design considerations. In conclusion, the author addresses the challenges inherent in transposing CFD insights to tangible automotive applications and charts prospective trajectories for CFD's continued evolution in automotive engineering, underscoring its pivotal role in steering the future of vehicular design.
