Title

CFD analysis of aerodynamic drag reduction in heavy vehicles by changing its frontal area

Abstract

Abstract: Now days, heavy- truck fuel quality has been an overwhelming concern for production and construction engineers. The best way to lower fuel consumption is to boost vehicle aerodynamic efficiency. This can be accomplished by reducing the drag, as the drag coefficient is directly proportional to the consumption of fuel. Design engineers attempting to improve the performance of the heavy vehicle by manipulating different parameters such as engine parameters, weighing, rolling resistance and aerodynamic drag. Efforts were made in this project to increase aerodynamic performance by changing the container's frontal area. Computational modeling was conducted at different speeds (50km / hr, 60km / hr, and 70km / hr) by modifying the container's frontal area in heavy vehicles. Specific truck geometries were made using CATIA V5 and the simulations were made using the software program ANSYS CFX. Results were obtained and comparative studies were made. As a result of comparisons between various designs, the cowl of 2h dimension shows better results in reducing the drag when compared with the other designs.
