Abstract
The velocity and temperature profiles in the cabin of the automobile affect greatly the comfortableness of passengers. In this paper, the three dimensional flow and temperature analysis in the cabin of real automobile have been peformed. The three dimensional Navier-Stokes equation solver was validated by comparing with the other numerical data of a 1/5 scale model. The temperature field of cavity was also analyzed for the validation of energy equation solver. After the code validation, the numerical analysis of real field of flow and temperature of an automobile was peformed and the present result provides the insight of flow and temperature field of the inside of cabin.
