Abstract

In this study, CFX analyses were performed with flow models to minimize the flow resistance due to the windscreen on the front of a car body. The results indicated that the greater the slant angle of the windshield, the greater the maximum pressure area. The lower the slant angle of the windscreen, the smaller the area in which the air collides with the front of the car body and the more smoothly the air moves. The results of this study can be applied to increase fuel economy under driving conditions by changing the slant angle of the vehicle's windscreen.
